Milestone 3 - Agile Test Plan

Outline your testing strategy, scope, objectives, timelines, and resource allocation.

An Agile test plan is a living document

• evolves throughout the project, adapting to changes and incorporating feedback from the team.
• outlines the approach, objectives, and strategies for testing in an Agile software development project.
• focus is on collaboration, flexibility, and delivering high-quality software in an iterative and incremental manner.

Test Strategy

Define

• the testing levels (unit, integration, system, etc.),
• the types of testing (functional, performance, security, etc.), and
• any specific methodologies or techniques to be used.

Test Scope

• outline the features, modules, or user stories to be tested.
• specify relevant requirements or functionalities that need to be covered by the testing effort.

Test Schedule

• high-level timeline for the testing activities.
  • Since Agile projects work in iterations or sprints, the test plan should align with the iterations and highlight the testing activities to be conducted within each iteration.

Test Environment

• necessary hardware, software, and network setup required for testing.
• details about test data, test tools, and any test environment configurations needed.

Test Deliverables

• Enumerate the key artifacts or deliverables to be produced during the testing process, such as
  • test cases,
  • test scripts,
  • test data sets,
  • defect reports, and
  • test summary reports.

Test Metrics

• Specify the metrics/measurements to be used to assess the test progress and quality.

This may include metrics like

• test coverage,
• defect density,
• test execution progress, and
• pass/fail rates.
