Description

This test case outlines a high-level approach to verifying the implementation of automated testing and quality assurance processes (limitations apply, see Remarks).

Pre-state

  1. The development team has implemented automated testing frameworks or tools.
  2. Initial automated test cases are created for critical functionalities.
  3. A quality assurance process is documented, outlining procedures for manual testing, defect tracking, and code review.

Test Steps

  1. Verify documentation:
    • Review the documented quality assurance process for clarity and completeness.
    • Ensure the process outlines procedures for different testing stages (e.g., unit testing, integration testing, regression testing).
  2. Test execution:
    • Observe the execution of automated tests
    • Verify that tests cover critical functionalities of the web application.
  3. Review test results:
    • Analyze the outcome of automated tests.
    • Ideally, a majority of tests should pass, indicating no critical issues.
  4. Defect management:
    • Simulate a scenario where an automated test fails.
    • Verify the process for reporting and tracking the identified defect.

End-State

  • The quality assurance process documentation is reviewed and approved.
  • Initial automated test cases are executed successfully.
  • A test failure scenario demonstrates a functional defect tracking process.

Determination of test results

Pass criteria

  • The quality assurance process documentation is clear and outlines a comprehensive testing strategy.
  • Automated tests cover critical functionalities of the web application.
  • The majority of automated tests pass upon execution.
  • A simulated test failure demonstrates a functional process for reporting and tracking defects.

Fail criteria

  • The quality assurance process documentation is missing crucial elements or lacks clarity.
  • Automated tests have significant coverage gaps for critical functionalities.
  • A high number of automated tests fail during execution.
  • The simulated test failure scenario reveals issues with defect reporting or tracking.
