Test Strategy
The project test plan should describe the overall strategy that the project
will follow for testing the final application and the products leading up to
the completed application. Strategic decisions that may be influenced by the
choice of development paradigms and process models include:
When to test:The
test plan should show how the stages of the testing process, such as
component, integration and acceptance, correspond to stages of the
development process. For those of us who have adopted an iterative,
incremental development strategy.
incremental testing: is a natural fit. Testing can begin as soon as
some coherent unit is developed and continues on successively larger units
until the complete application is tested. This approach provides for earlier
detection of faults and feedback into development. For projects that do not
schedule periodic deliveries of executable units, the big bang testing
strategy, in which the first test is performed on the complete product, is
necessary. This strategy often results in costly bottlenecks as small faults
prevent the major system functionality from being exercised.
