The difference between test plan and test program in software testing

First, test plan:

To stipulate and constrain the organization, resources and principles of the whole process of testing, and to set up the tasks and schedule of all stages of the testing process, and put forward the assessment, risk analysis and requirement management of each task.

Second, the test plan:

Describe the characteristics to be tested, the methods of testing, the planning of test environments, the design and selection of test tools, the design method of test cases, and the design of test code.

Third, the test plan is the organization management level document, from the organization management angle carries on the plan to the test activity.

Testing program is a technical level of documentation, from the technical perspective of a Test activity planning.

Five, the test plan to clear content:

1. Identify the organization of the test

1> Test organization and other department relations, responsibility Division.

2> the organization and responsibility arrangements within the testing organisation.

2, clear test object (clear test items, for the following division tasks, estimate the workload, etc.)

3, complete the testing needs tracking

4. Clear the principles to be observed in testing

1> test pass/fail criteria

2> test pending and recovery requirements

5, clear test work assignment is the core of the test plan

1, carry out the test task Division

2, the test workload estimates

3, personnel resources and material resources allocation

4, clear the task time and schedule

5. Risk estimation and avoidance measures

6. Make clear the test work products that should be delivered after the test is finished

Vi. the specific content of the test plan:

1. Clear strategy

2. Refine test characteristics (Form test subkeys)

3. Planning of test Cases

4, the test environment planning

5, the design of automatic testing framework

6. Design and selection of test tools

The test plan needs to be carried out under the guidance of the test plan, the test plans propose "do what", and the test scheme is clear "do".
