Test strategy

A detailed test strategy and plan, together with appropriate test data, should be developed and documented. It is vital to produce test cases and to show that they work. To do this, it is necessary not only to have test data, but to know what the expected results are with that data.

3–4 marks A detailed test strategy and a plan covering several aspects of the system but with inadequate data to effectively test the system, eg data covers only normal circumstances or covers only a limited part of the design specification.
