A Level Test Plan focuses on specific testing activities for a defined test level. It details the procedures, schedules and resources needed for that level of testing. This plan is typically derived from a master test plan, which outlines the overall testing strategy for a project.
Key Components:
- Testing Objectives: Clear goals for what the testing aims to achieve.
- Test Schedule: Timelines for when testing activities will occur.
- Test Activities: Specific tasks and procedures to be performed during testing.
- Resources Required: Identification of tools, environments and personnel needed.
- Entry and Exit Criteria: Conditions that must be met to start and complete the testing phase.
Level test plans help ensure that all necessary activities are completed for each test type, such as unit testing or integration testing. They provide detailed guidance that supports effective execution and monitoring of the testing process.
