Testing Plan Document

A- Test Plan

1. Introduction
1.1 Purpose
This document describes the plan for testing the Online University Registration System [OURS]. This Test
Plan document supports the following objectives:

Identify ours project information and its components that should be tested.

List the recommended test requirements (high level).

Recommend and describe the testing strategies.

Identify the required resources, provide an estimate of the test efforts, and detail testing schedule.

List the deliverable elements of the test activities.

1.2 Scope
This Test Plan applies to unit test, integration test and system test that will be conducted on the Online
University Registration System [OURS]. It is assumed that unit testing already provided thorough black box
testing through extensive coverage of source code and testing of all module interfaces.

This Test Plan applies to test all requirements of the [OURS] as defined in the Vision and Scope Document,
Use-case specification, and software requirement specification document.

1.3 References
Vision and Scope document

Business Plan and SRS document

2. Review requirement and Design


2.1 Review requirement
Original requirement defined by our team is that our system only contains 8 use cases. You can see in the
original use case model below.

7
Testing Plan Document

The detail of these use cases is described in SRS document. Therefore, we will not do it again in this
document.

However, according to recommendations from Ms Sang, we will add two more use cases. They are “Manage
User Account” and “Manage Course Catalog”.

Manage user account use case is used by a new actor of the system that is administrator. This use case
allows user to create, update, delete, and search for user account.

Manage course catalog is used by Academic Affair Staff. This use case allows user to add, delete, update,
and search for course in the course catalog.

Our team use Change Management technique introduced in the book “Applied Project Management” to
deal with these change. And the detail of these two use case specification and their test cases we will
provide in the final document which will be submit in review 4. In this document, we only introduce the
changes on requirement that our team has been made.

The following is the updated use case model.

8
Testing Plan Document

2.2 Review system architecture


From the updated requirement, our team sees that the number of functions the system provides is
too large in comparison with the scope of the system. This brings us to the decision to divide the original
system into many subsystems as follow.

9

System architecture with sub-system model

System architecture with layer model

The test cases will be separated in later part. Therefore we do not put the list of test cases here.

4. Features not to be tested


Because we will test all features of the system we have been defined, there is no feature that will
not be tested.

5. Approach
5.1 Kind of test
The tests below base on the use case specifications, functional requirements, and non-functional
requirements which have been identified as the targets for testing

Besides, we also show the kinds of test which our team intend to perform.

5.1.1 Data and Database Integrity Testing


Data integrity and database integrity test techniques verify that data is being stored by the system in
a manner where the data is not compromised by updating, restoration, or retrieval processing. This type of
testing is intended to uncover design flaws that may result in data corruption, unauthorized data access, lack
of data integrity across multiple tables, and lack of adequate transaction performance. The database, data
files, and the database or data file processes should be tested as a subsystem within the application.
13
Testing Plan Document
5.1.2 System testing
System testing of software is testing conducted on a complete, integrated system to evaluate the
system's compliance with its specified requirements. They includes the following functions

User login and logout

View Academic History

Register for course

Manage Department Information

Manage Student Information

Manage Lecturer Information

Manage Course Catalog

Manage Offering Courses

Manage Financial Activities

Manage User Account

5.1.3 Performance Testing


Performance Testing covers a broad range of engineering or functional evaluations where a
material, product, or system is not specified by detailed material or component specifications: Rather,
emphasis is on the final measurable performance characteristics.

5.1.4 Load Testing


Load testing is the process of creating demand on a system or device and measuring its response.

5.1.5 Stress Testing


Stress testing is a form of testing that is used to determine the stability of a given system or entity. It
involves testing beyond normal operational capacity, often to a breaking point, in order to observe the
results. Stress testing may have a more specific meaning in certain industries.

Verify system response during maximum student logins.

5.1.6 Volume Testing


Volume Testing belongs to the group of non-functional tests, which are often misunderstood and/or
used interchangeably. Volume testing refers to testing a software application for a certain data volume.

Verify system response when Course Catalog Database at 90% capacity.

14
Testing Plan Document
5.2 Test Strategy
The Test Strategy presents the recommended approach to the testing of the software applications. The
previous section on Test Requirements described what kinds of test will be tested. This part describes how
they will be performed.

The main considerations for the test strategy are the techniques to be used and the criterion for testing to
be completed.

However, before starting the system test (both functional and non-functional requirements testing), we
must perform unit test for each unit of the system (fields, methods, classes, and components) and make
sure that all unit must pass the check list of unit test.

5.2.1 Checklist of unit test


Verify the input data length specified in the database or in EJB

Verify the input data format specified in each form, classes, and interaction with database

String format

Integer number format

Email address format

Date format

Special character

Empty field

Null

Test write

Test write null field

Test write read

Test getter setter

Doing this kind of checking help us to decrease the number of simple test cases

5.2.2 Unit testing


According to the system architecture, we have to test all entities, ejb3 session bean, struts actions…

In order to complete this kind of test, we will use JUnit and EJB3Unit as tools for implement and execute the
unit test.

15
Testing Plan Document
5.2.3 Smoke test
Because the number of use cases and the number of test cases are really large, we cannot demo all of them.
Therefore we will define a smoke test for demonstration.

Our smoke test includes test cases of 3 main use cases of the system:

Login and Logout use case

Manage courses offering user case

Register for courses use case

For the detail of each test case, please reference to the part of test case in later part.

5.2.4 Test Automation


Test automation is the use of software to control the execution of tests, the comparison of actual outcomes
to predicted outcomes, the setting up of test preconditions, and other test control and test reporting
functions.

All the tools that are used for test automation please reference to the part of tools in later part.

5.2.5 Data and Database Integrity Testing


The database data and database processing should be tested as separate systems. These systems should be
tested without the applications (as the interface to the data). Additional research into the DBMS needs to be
performed to identify the tools / techniques that may exist to support the testing identified below.

Test Objective Ensure Database access methods and processes function properly and
without data corruption.

Technique Invoke each database access method and process, seeding each with valid
and invalid data (or requests for data).

Inspect the database to ensure the data has been populated as intended, all
database events occurred properly, or review the returned data to ensure
that the correct data was retrieved (for the correct reasons)

Completion Criteria All database access methods and processes function as designed and without
any data corruption.

Special Considerations Testing may require a DBMS development environment or drivers to enter or
modify data directly in the databases.

Processes should be invoked manually.

Small or minimally sized databases (limited number of records) should be

16
Testing Plan Document
used to increase the visibility of any non-acceptable events.

5.2.6 System Testing


Testing of the application should focus on any target requirements that can be traced directly to use cases
(or business functions), and business rules. The goals of these tests are to verify proper data acceptance,
processing, and retrieval, and the appropriate implementation of the business rules. This type of testing is
based upon black box technique, which is, verifying the application (and its internal processes) by interacting
with the application via the GUI and analyzing the output (results). Identified below is an outline of the
testing recommended for each application?

Test Objective Ensure proper application navigation, data entry, processing, and
retrieval.

Technique Execute each use case, use case flow, or function, using valid and
invalid data, to verify the following:

The expected results occur when valid data is used.

The appropriate error / warning messages are displayed when invalid


data is used.

Each business rule is properly applied.

Completion Criteria All planned tests have been executed.

All identified defects have been addressed.

Special Considerations Access to the OURS Server and the existing Course Catalog System is
required.

5.2.7 Performance Testing


Performance testing measures response times, transaction rates, and other time sensitive
requirements. The goal of Performance testing is to verify and validate the performance requirements have
been achieved. Performance testing is usually executed several times, each using a different "background
load" on the system. The initial test should be performed with a "nominal" load, similar to the normal load
experienced (or anticipated) on the target system. A second performance test is running using a peak load.

Additionally, Performance tests can be used to profile and tune a system's performance as a
function of conditions such as workload or hardware configurations.

17
Testing Plan Document
NOTE: Transactions below refer to "logical business transactions". These transactions are defined as specific
functions that an end user of the system is expected to perform using the application, such as add or modify
a given contract.

Test Objective Validate System Response time for designated transactions or business
functions under a the following two conditions:

- Normal anticipated volume

- Anticipated worse case volume

Technique Use Test Scripts developed for Business Model Testing (System Testing).

Modify data files (to increase the number of transactions) or modify scripts
to increase the number of iterations each transaction occurs.

Scripts should be run on one machine (best case to benchmark single user,
single transaction) and be repeated with multiple clients (virtual or actual,
see special considerations below).

Completion Criteria Single Transaction / single user: Successful completion of the test scripts
without any failures and within the expected / required time allocation (per
transaction)

Multiple transactions / multiple users: Successful completion of the test


scripts without any failures and within acceptable time allocation.

Special Considerations: Comprehensive performance testing includes having a "background" load


on the server. There are several methods that can be used to perform this,
including:

"Drive transactions" directly to the server, usually in the form of MySQL


calls.

Create "virtual" user load to simulate many (usually several hundred)


clients. Remote Terminal Emulation tools are used to accomplish this load.
This technique can also be used to load the network with "traffic."

Use multiple physical clients, each running test scripts to place a load on
the system.

Performance testing should be performed on a dedicated machine or at a


dedicated time. This permits full control and accurate measurement.

The databases used for Performance testing should be either actual size, or

18
Testing Plan Document
scaled equally.

5.2.8 Load Testing


Load testing measures subjects the system-under-test to varying workloads to evaluate the system's
ability to continue to function properly under these different workloads. The goal of load testing is to
determine and ensure that the system functions properly beyond the expected maximum workload.
Additionally, load testing evaluates the performance characteristics (response times, transaction rates, and
other time sensitive issues).

NOTE: Transactions below refer to "logical business transactions". These transactions are defined as specific
functions that an end user of the system is expected to perform using the application, such as add or modify
a given contract.

Test Objective Verify System Response time for designated transactions or


business cases under varying workload conditions.

Technique Use tests developed for Business Cycle Testing.

Modify data files (to increase the number of transactions) or


the tests to increase the number of times each transaction
occurs.

Completion Criteria Multiple transactions / multiple users: Successful completion of


the tests without any failures and within acceptable time
allocation.

Special Considerations Load testing should be performed on a dedicated machine or


at a dedicated time. This permits full control and accurate
measurement.

The databases used for load testing should be either actual


size, or scaled equally.

5.2.9 Stress Testing


Stress testing is intended to find errors due to low resources or competition for resources. Low
memory or disk space may reveal defects in the software that aren't apparent under normal conditions.
Other defects might results from competition for shared resource like database locks or network bandwidth.
Stress testing identifies the peak load the system can handle.

NOTE: References to transactions below refer to logical business transactions.

19
Testing Plan Document
Test Objective Verify that the system and software function properly and
without error under the following stress conditions:

little or no memory available on the server (RAM)

Maximum (actual or physically capable) number of clients


connected (or simulated)

Multiple users performing the same transactions against the


same data / accounts

Worst-case transaction volume / mix (see performance testing


above).

NOTES: Stress testing's goal might also be stated as identify


and document the conditions under which the system FAILS to
continue functioning properly.

Technique Use tests developed for Performance Testing.

To test limited resources, tests should be run on single


machine, RAM and DASD on server should be reduced (or
limited).

For remaining stress tests, multiple clients should be used,


running either the same tests or complementary tests to
produce the worst-case transaction volume / mix.

Completion Criteria All planned tests are executed and specified system limits are
reached / exceeded without the software or software failing
(or conditions under which system failure occurs is outside of
the specified conditions).

Special Considerations Stressing the network may require network tools to load the
network with messages / packets.

The DASD used for the system should temporarily be reduced


to restrict the available space for the database to grow.

Synchronization of the simultaneous clients accessing of the


same records / data accounts.

5.2.10 Volume Testing


Volume Testing subjects the software to large amounts of data to determine if limits are reached
that cause the software to fail. Volume testing also identifies the continuous maximum load or volume the

20
Testing Plan Document
system can handle for a given period. For example, if the software is processing a set of database records to
generate a report, a Volume Test would use a large test database and check that the software behaved
normally and produced the correct report.

Test Objective Verify that the application / system successfully functions


under the following high volume scenarios:

Maximum (actual or physically capable) number of clients


connected (or simulated) all performing the same, worst case
(performance) business function for an extended period.

Maximum database size has been reached (actual or scaled)


and multiple queries / report transactions are executed
simultaneously.

Technique Use tests developed for Performance Testing.

Multiple clients should be used, either running the same tests


or complementary tests to produce the worst case transaction
volume / mix (see stress test above) for an extended period.

Maximum database size is created (actual, scaled, or filled with


representative data) and multiple clients used to run queries /
report transactions simultaneously for extended periods.

Completion Criteria All planned tests have been executed and specified system
limits are reached / exceeded without the software or software
failing.

Special Considerations What period of time would be considered an acceptable time


for high volume conditions (as noted above)?

6. Suspension criteria and resumption requirements


6.1 Suspension criteria
Three use cases have more than 2 major errors or fours minor errors, then the build is not acceptable and
the testing is suspended.

6.2 Resumption requirements


All major errors & and at least 70% of minor errors that have been found in previous iteration are fixed

B- Test Case

In this part, we only provide test cases for all use cases defined in original requirement. We will complete all
test cases and use case specification of 2 new use cases have been added later in the final review.

1. Unit testing
Again, we use JUnit and EJB3Unit for unit testing. To be note that EJB3Unit is really different from JUnit or
NUnit. In JUnit and NUnit, we have to give the input and the output so that these tools can know how to
check the result and notify us whether the unit is passed or not. However, with EJB3Unit, if we test the
entities, we are not required to provide the input and the output because the EJB3Unit ( an extension of
JUnit) automatic provide an random data to check the result our entities. And all the cases we need to
check are as below checklist:

Verify the input data length specified in the database or in EJB. The EJB3Unit will can collect information
about the database basing on the entities and check the length. For example, the student name’s length is
specified is 50, then the EJB3Unit will generate data with length is 50, greater than 50, and less than 50 to
check all cases that can happen. And the case that is passed is the case with length 50. Others case is failed.

That is the reason while we do not need to write too much test case in this part. However, if the team is
required, we will do it in the review 4.

Other kinds of checks will be showed below:

Verify the input data format specified in each form, classes, and interaction with database

String format: only accept string, not number format, or mixed (string and number) format…
Integer number format: only accept integer number format, not string format, or mixed format…
Email address format: only valid email address is accepted, other string patterns are not accepted
Date format: only date format is accepted, others are not accepted
Special character: not use special character
Empty field: empty field is not accepted.
Null: not allowed using null
Test write: test writing operation to database check whether we can write data to database or not
Test write null field: not allow write null data to our system database
Test write read: test reading and writing data with relationships and constraints
Test getter setter: test whether get and set methods of each entity

For further information about EJB3Unit and how it work, please contact with our team. This is due to the fact
that it is a brand new tool introduced after EJB3.0 is defined. And it change the way J2EE developers do the
unit test.
