Project Manager who is responsible to manage the project prepares a Test Strategy in this phase.
What is Test Strategy?
In general, strategy means making plans to achieve a goal.
The test strategy document focuses mainly on the following
a. Different types of testing that would be followed in the testing life cycle.
b. identifying risk issues etc, earlier so that progress can be evaluated more precisely
c. how testing is to be carried out and where special prominence on different aspects of the system has to be given so that best possible use of resource and time can be made use of.
This test strategy also forms an important basis for an structured approach to testing which makes the testing process manageable.
Components in Test Strategy Document:
As per the IEEE standard Test strategy document contains the following
a. Scope and Objective
b. Business Issues
c. Test Approach
d. Roles and Responsibilities
e. Communication and Status Reporting
f. test deliverables
g. test automation and testing tools
h. Defect Reporting and Tracking
I. Testing measurements and metrics
j. Change and configuration management
k. Risks and assumptions
l. Training plan
m. test factors
n. Test Factors vs. Testing Techniques
