Plan, execute and achieve quality objectives fast & easy

Test strategy is a key test document that captures overall test objectives (goals) and best approach to achieve the test objectives. There are multiple levels of testing (unit, integration, system, etc.) and hundreds of test types (performance, usability, security, etc.). Since it is difficult to perform all level and types of testing, the test strategy helps to identify the best test approach in achieving quality goals.

The test plan document captures necessary resources, timelines, environments and test documentation required to successfully meet the quality objectives. Having a test strategy and a good plan, will help you successfully execute and achieve quality goals.

Test documentation are set of artifacts created to successfully test the application. The test artifacts includes test scenarios, test cases, scripts and necessary data. To ensure proper test coverage, adequate test suits covering various scenarios. This template covers various key documents required for software testing.

The key aspect of testing is to find defects at the earliest and resolve it at the earliest thus reducing cost of quality. The defect management plan should outline the lifecycle (or workflow) of how defects will be identified and processed. The defect management plan should cover different aspects of defect management including identification, categorization, prioritization, resolution and reporting. Use this template to post a project an create a defect management plan service.

Integration testing is a test level that ensures the software components are integrated properly and working as expected. During development, the software components are developed separately (UI, API, database, etc.), and integrated later. Integration testing ensure the integrated components are working as expected. Integration usually happens after unit testing. Use this template to launch integration testing project or offering integration testing service.

Performance testing is one of the common testing that tests for speed and stability of the application at different workloads. The performance testing usually involves simulating a core set of test scenarios with increasing users and identifying maximum capacity of the application in the current state. By identifying the bottlenecks you can take appropriate actions (increasing compute, storage, network, etc.) improving the scalability of the application.

Test execution is the process of executing test documents (scenarios, cases, scripts), capturing test results (pass/fail) and creating defects for further processing. To ensure adequate test coverage, good test suits covering various scenarios are required. Use this template to execute tests and capture test results.

Test automation is process of identifying defects using test automation tools. The test automation includes creating, executing and capturing test results using software. If used properly, the test automation can save significant time, cost and effort. However, it works well when the features are stable with limited or no changes. Use this template to launch your test automation project or create a test automation service.
