The objective of the solution is to provide advertisers and consumers a simple well-designed customizable internet portal that gives them choice and control and to offer a turnkey solution for the presentation and redemption of money off vouchers and coupons.

2.1 Objectives

The System Test Plan for Xyz Software & Web Application supports the following objectives.

1. To define the activities required for preparing and conducting the System Test.
2. To communicate to all responsible parties the tasks that they are to perform and the schedule to be followed in performing those tasks.
3. To detail the sources of information used to prepare the plan and those required to prepare and execute tests.
4. To identify and define the testing tools and environment needed to conduct the System Test.

2.2 Background

After careful observations earlier in the Inception phase, abc Technology Group has provided Recommendations and Comparisons of J2EE/ .Net / Microsoft Solutions to Xyz Ltd. for the development of the solution. The Management Review Committee of Xyz approved the option for developing the solution in .NET, while retaining abc NetAdvertiser (J2EE application).

The Xyz Technical Group furnished a Statement of Requirements (Xyz Phase I - Functional Specification 1.1), and Xyz Ltd. and abc India Pvt. Ltd. signed a SOW No.1 on January 23, 2004.

2.3 Scope

This Test Plan covers a full Systems Test of Xyz Software & Web Application. It includes operator and user procedures, as well as programs and job control. In addition to comprehensively testing multi-program functionality of the complete solution, external interfaces, security, recovery, and performance are also evaluated.

2.4 References

The following documents were used as sources of information for the Test Plan:

3. Test Items

All items that make up the Xyz Software & Web Application will be tested during the System Test. The versions to be tested will be placed in the appropriate libraries by the configuration administrator. The administrator will also control changes to the versions under test and notify the test team when new versions are available.

The following documents will provide the basis for defining correct operation:

The items to be tested are as follows:

3.1 XYZ  Procedures

The procedures specified for the XYZ Advertiser will be tested.

3.2 Consumer Procedures

The procedures specified for the Consumer will be tested.

3.3 Channel Owner Procedures

The procedures specified for the Channel Owner will be tested.

3.4 Management and Reporting Procedures

The procedures specified for the Management and Reporting will be tested.

3.5 Scaling Ability Procedures

The procedures specified for Scaling Ability will be tested.

4. Features to be Tested

The following list describes the various Actors for which testing will be done:

The following list describes the Features that will be tested:

5. Features not to be Tested

The following features will not be included in the System Tests because they are not to be used when the system is initially installed.

ABC 1 (Will be updated from the latest system documents and covered in version 1.0 of Test Plan)
ABC 2
ABC 3

The development phase 02 documentation will contain a Test Plan for these features.

The test cases will not cover all the possible combinations of options with both phase 01 and phase 02. Only combinations that are known to be required within phase 01 will be tested.

6. Approach

The test personnel will use the system documentation to prepare all test design, test case and procedure specifications. This approach will verify the accuracy and comprehensiveness of the information in the documentation in those areas covered by the tests.

Test personnel will assist in developing the test designs, test cases, and procedure specifications. This will help ensure that the tests represent the production use of the system.

6.1 Functional Testing

Functional testing will occur first and will ensure the following:

1. The site features function as expected.
2. The various components have been integrated correctly.
3. The site features are performing their specific functions within the context of the overall site functionality, as defined in the Functional Specification documentation.

6.2 Interface Testing

The interfaces between the various modules and features wherever communication happens between them will be tested. A separate bed of test data will be prepared and maintained for this purpose.

6.3 Regression

It is assumed that several iterations of the System Test will be done in order to test program modifications made during the System Test period.

A regression test will be performed for each new version of the system to detect unexpected impact resulting from program modification.

The regression test will be done by running all of the tests on a new version that were run on the previous version, and then comparing the resulting files.

6.4 Security Testing

Attempted access with out a valid e-mail address or proper password to the on-line data entry and display transactions will be tested.

As SSL is implemented to ensure the security of the advertisers and channel owners hosted databases, the same for SSL encryption will be tested.

Testing will be done to ensure that possible administrative functions are hidden behind SSL security.

6.5 Recovery Testing

The machine will be halted during stand-alone time, and the recovery procedures will be executed in order to test for Recovery of the system.

6.6 Performance Testing

Performance will be evaluated against the performance requirements by measuring the run times of several jobs using the production data volumes. The performance of the system to some extent is expected to rely on the hosting environment (Functional Spec: Page 11,Para1).

It is assumed that the hosting environment will be:

Performance requirements as per functional specification is given below:

6.7 Comprehensiveness

1. Each of the system features described will have at least one associated test design specification.
2. Each of the user procedures specified will be tested at least once.
3. In addition, each job control procedure will be executed at least once.

A coverage matrix will be used to relate test design specifications to each of the areas described above.

6.8 Constraints

Final implementation date ofApril 30, 2004has been planned for Xyz Software & Web Application. It will be necessary to meet this date because the Xyz begins full operation onMay 1, 2004and they must have this Application in production.

7. Item Pass/Fail Criteria

Each test case will define its own pass/fail criteria within the test script. When the test fails, it is entered into the Defect Tracking System and reported to the responsible person. During the test, the test analyst will list all URLs that should be tested and whether the URL listed is passed or failed, and any comments.

8. Suspension Criteria and Resumption Requirements

8.1 Suspension Criteria

Inability to use the main features or the information database will cause suspension of all testing activities.

8.2 Resumption Criteria

When a new version of the system is transmitted to the test team after a suspension of testing has occurred, a regression test will be run.
