Write a test plan for the following sections of
IEEE 829 test plan template for a online library system.
a) Scope of testing. b) Objectives. c) Risks. d)
Strategy. e) Approach.
a) Scope of Testing
- User
registration and login
- Searching
and browsing books
- Viewing
book details (author, availability, ISBN)
- Issuing
and returning books
- Viewing
user’s issued book history
- Admin
functions: add/edit/delete books
- Notifications
for due dates
b) Objectives
- To
check that all main features of the online library system are working
properly.
- To
make sure both user and admin features are built as needed.
- To
test if the system runs well, is easy to use, and keeps data safe.
- To
find and fix any errors, design issues, or slow parts before the system is
launched.
c) Risks
|
Risks |
Impact |
Mitigation |
|
Unclear or changing requirements |
High |
Regular reviews with stakeholders |
|
Data inconsistency due to improper return/book status updates |
Medium |
Conduct integration testing |
|
Limited testing resources or devices |
Medium |
Cloud testing tools |
|
Network issues affecting access to the online library |
Low |
Test under different network conditions |
D)Test Strategy
- Functional
Testing: To verify each module (search, issue, return) works as expected
- Usability
Testing: To ensure the user interface is intuitive for students and admins
- Performance
Testing: To check how the system performs under heavy user load
- Security
Testing: To ensure secure login and protect user data and records
- Regression
Testing: To make sure new changes don’t break existing features
E)Test Approach
- Use
black-box testing focusing on user inputs and expected output
- Perform
manual testing for exploratory and usability tests
- Use
automated scripts for repetitive tasks like login, search, and book
issue/return
- Divide
the test cases into positive (valid inputs) and negative (invalid inputs)
- Perform
testing across different browsers and devices for compatibility
- Log
defects in a defect tracking tool and retest after fixes.
