CRICOS Provider No. 00103D ITECH7409 Assig 2 Sem 1 2019 Page 1 of 5 ITECH7409 Software Testing Assignment 2 (Group) - Software Test Document Overview This assignment is a group assessment, where one submission is made per group and all individuals in the group receive the same grade. There should be 2-3 students in each group. For any software development, testing activities need to be fully documented. The IEEE 829-2008 Standard prescribes a set of documents that cover the various stages of testing, including: Master Test Plan (MTP): provides an overall test planning and test management document for multiple levels of test Level Test Plan (LTP): provides for each level of testing, the scope, approach, resources, and schedule of the testing activities. It lists items being tested, the features to be tested, the tasks to be performed, the personnel responsible for each task, and the associated risk(s) need to be identified. Level Test Design (LTD): details test cases and the expected results as well as test pass criteria. Level Test Case (LTC): specifies the test data for use in running the test cases identified in the Level Test Design. Timelines and Expectations Marks and Percentage Value of Task: 20 marks 20% Due: Thu, May 30, 2019 - 16:00 (Week 11) Minimum time expectation: at least 10 hours Learning Outcomes Assessed K1. Critically evaluate software requirements as inputs toward testing of the final solution K2. Analyse and critically evaluate appropriate tools and techniques to support the testing process K3. Develop a good understanding of selecting and applying measures and models used for testing that are compliant with the appropriate professional industry standards such as the ACS and IEEE K4. Critically reflect on the outcomes of software testing and propose strategies for improving quality and performance outcomes in the software process S1. Analyse and critically evaluate software requirements and proposed solutions CRICOS Provider No. 00103D ITECH7409 Assig 2 Sem 1 2019 Page 2 of 5 S2. Apply complex decision making to select appropriate testing techniques S3. Write professional level management, planning, quality assurance and testing documentation for a software system S4. Apply effective testing techniques to software systems of varying scales and test levels S5. Work in a team to evaluate and implement appropriate methods for determining quality and reliability in software systems S6. Undertake quality assurance processes A1. Develop and maintain plans for scheduling quality assurance tasks including software testing A2. Carry out the process of software testing and writing reports detailing the results; A3. Implementation of project management principles with respect to software testing Assessment Details Commence your assignment task by reading the case study documents for the Online Backstage Management System (OBMS). The documents are: • Software Requirements Specification (SRS) • Software Architecture Design Document (SADD) • Administrator documentation • User documentation Requirements: Each group will need to submit a Software Test Document. The document will describe, in as much detail as possible, a full testing suite for the Online Backstage Management System. The testing suite should include descriptions of the unit, integration and system testing levels and contain a detailed requirements traceability matrix. To create the Software Test Document, groups should use the format shown in the sample Software Test Documentation shown in Lecture 5, slide 23, as this format incorporates features of • master test plan • level test plans for unit, integration and system testing levels that should relate to the requirements traceability matrix • level test designs for unit, integration and system testing with details of the specific test data for each of the test cases Note: It is not necessary to include Section 4 or Appendix A as suggested in slide 23, as it will not be possible to conduct testing of the Online Backstage Management System software in this assignment.
