Project Overview

Project description includes PRD, technical solution, product use cases, and test cases. Key personnel are listed (PM, PTM) and responsibilities are defined.

Test Preparation

Details on test environment, measurability requirements, test data, and tools.

Test Strategy

Unit Testing

Controlled by development PM, requires non‑null parameter validation, full coverage, and acceptance before pre‑release testing.

Interface Testing

Automated black‑box testing of external services, with scripts maintained alongside production code for CI integration.

Functional Testing

Automated chain‑TC coverage; manual verification for unreachable points.

UI Testing

Checks navigation, links, cookies, page structure, visual consistency, usability, and compliance with design specifications.

UAT

Not applicable for this iteration.

Performance Testing

Load, stress, and concurrency tests to ensure high TPS and low response time under pressure.

Test Schedule

Defines testing periods, effort estimates, and responsible owners.

General Testing Standards

Submission Standards

FindBugs scan must report zero bugs.

Unit tests must achieve 100% coverage and pass rate.

All code, SQL, and configuration reviews must be completed.

Developer self‑testing and smoke tests must pass.
