                                          ii.      Business Requirements and critical transactions to be tested,

                                        iii.      Testing types and strategies to be implemented and

                                        iv.      A proposed testing schedule

b. Objectives

                  This document provides the platform for testing the project “Cluster Management System”. The objective of testing is to see if the project meets the “Software Requirement Specifications version 2.0”. This document will provide - (1) the guidelines for the testing team to test the functionalities embedded in the project and (2) help for evaluating the Software Quality of the project.

2.     Project Scope

This section of the Test Plan document describes the (1) Scope of the project “Cluster Management System” and (2) Out of Scope of the project “Cluster Management System”.

a. Scope of the Project

“Cluster Mangement System” will be tested for its functionality on a cluster of 3 computers. Each computer on the cluster is a Pentium III (548 MHz) with Linux operating system. Testing include –   (1) Unit testing, (2) Integration testing, (3) System testing and (4) Customer Acceptance Testing (CAT). Each test is scheduled to take one week with the Customer Acceptance test on 11-11-2008.

The testing includes testing for several functions like

·         Login feature

·         Adding or deleting of an user

·         Reboot a node

·         Updating a user profile

·         Adding or Deleting a node

 

1.    Out of Scope of the Project

Performance of the project “Cluster Management System” for a cluster of large number of computers is out of scope of this project at this point of time.

4.     Test Strategies/Techniques

This section of the document describes – (1) Test design and (2) Test Data for the project “ Cluster Management System”.

a.      Test Design

Considering the scope of the project and the time limitations, we will be performing following tests.

a)      Unit Test –

This test verifies the program logic and is based on the knowledge of the program structure.

b)      Integration Test –

This test verifies the entire system’s functionality according to the design specification.

c)      Business Requirements –

This test verifies whether specific requirements of the customer are met.

d)     Acceptance Testing –

This test verifies whether the system needs to meet the initial objectives and customer’s expectations.

For performing the above mentioned tests, we will create test cases as shown in table 2.

Use Case ID Description Test Case UC-1 Use Case Login TC-1 UC-2 Use Case Update Profile TC-2 UC-3  Use Case Reboot TC-3 UC-4 Use Case Adding or delete a user TC-4 UC-5 Use Case Adding or Deleting node TC-5 UC-6 Use Case Power up TC-6

Table 2 -  Use cases and Test Cases

Table 3 describes the description of each test case mentioned in table 2 and the results expected from a corresponding test case.

Test Case	Use Case ID	Description	Expected Result
TC-1	UC-1	User enters a valid customer ID and password	User is granted the access to the system
TC-2	UC-2	User edits   information he wants to update in view user profile section	A message is displayed whether to confirm update or cancel and return back to view user profile page.
TC-3	UC-3	Admin clicks the reboot button after accessing the node lists.	A message will appear that rebooting operation is taking place. Once the machine is powered on, power button will become green
TC-4	UC-4	Admin clicks add/delete user menu button and fills the form ‘Add/delete a single user’	Message will  appears   that User was successfully created/deleted.
TC-5	UC-5	Admin clicks on nodes button and selects add/delete node  option	Confirmation screen is displayed verifying that selected nodes are added/deleted
TC-6	UC-6	Admin clicks the nodes button , Once the nodes are listed, click Red power button	“Powering On” message will be displayed until the machine is completely powered on Once the machine is powered on, the power button will become green.
TC-7	UC-7	Admin clicks the Accounts button and clicks list users menu item	.A screen will be displayed listing all users.

Table 3 – Description and the Expected Results of each Test Case

b.      Database

             A    Head node maintains Database that contains the login names and passwords      of all the users and administrator.

Table 4 - Project Schedule

6.     Defect Responsibility/Resolution

Possible defects identified through manual testing will be discussed with development team members to verify that the observed behavior constitutes a defect. Defects found will be tried to be resolved. If not possible, they will be delivered with the deliverables as “Known Bugs”.  Defect register will be maintained to keep a track of all the defects found in the software.

7.     Exit Criteria

Testing can proceed to the next stage of the process when a sufficient proportion of the current stage has been completed All exit criteria should be satisfied by the end of the project.

8) Goals and Deliverables

Goals and deliverables of the test plan of the “Cluster Management System” are as follows –

a)      Goals:

ü  To accomplish all tasks described in this test plan.

ü  To install a measurable, improvable, repeatable, and manageable test process.

ü  To verify the functionality and content of the current version of the application.

ü  To reduce the frequency of error associated with manual testing.

ü  To find and successfully track 100% of defects present along the user path defined in this plan.

b)     Deliverables:

ü   Test Planning Stage 

ü   Test Execution and Defect Tracking Stage

ü   Evaluation and Improvement – this include
