This 1-day Writing Software Test Plans training course describes the IEEE Standard 829-1998 and shows how to apply it to improve software test planning consistency.
Writing a software test plan can be a difficult task. Many organisations define test plans differently and in some cases, each project adopts its own unique definition. Inevitably, this lack of clarity leads to inconsistent documentation, misunderstanding, and wasted time. The IEEE Standard 829-1998 describes four separate documents related to test planning and specification.
After completing this course, students will be able to:
- understand the contents of IEEE 829,
- use standard test planning templates,
- identify suitable content for each template,
- tailor the templates to suit the needs of a particular organisation or project,
- understand how the different sections of the test planning templates inter-relate,
- employ a standardised terminology & approach to test planning.
