Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to plan and manage a test regime for evaluation of application software for a telecommunications network.It applies to individuals with high-level technical skills working as network engineers or senior technical staff within project management roles.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Plan test effort and develop test strategy for an application software
  • 1.1 Critically analyse functionalities of an application software from the system design document and create test strategy for new telecommunications product line
  • 1.2 Produce steps for test strategy, including attributes of each step according to enterprise policy
  • 1.3 Produce test strategy for evaluating suitability of application software for integration into telecommunications network
  • 1.4 Critically analyse test strategy and identify types of risks that would hinder test performance or reality
2. Plan test strategy for regime
  • 2.1 Produce phases of a test cycle for a test regime according to system design document
  • 2.2 Assess a range of tests required to evaluate performance and functionality of application software and determine tests required to suit the test regime
  • 2.3 Evaluate features of testing tool and debuggers and select an appropriate tool to test software application and detect faults
  • 2.4 Evaluate elements of test plan that cover testing functionality of the application software
3. Design test plan and produce test reviews
  • 3.1 Determine forecast time, effort and cost for low and medium intensity projects to perform testing
  • 3.2 Develop a test case or test scenario with prerequisite states based on requirements to generate expected test results for test plan
  • 3.3 Produce test plan for specific phases based on requirements of project specifications for the application software
  • 3.4 Produce test reporting associated with particular test phases within test plan
  • 3.5 Critically analyse test reports and evaluate impact of test plan on the testing environment
  • 3.6 Manage progress of test plan to minimise risks associated with testing and ensure test compliance with test requirements
  • 3.7 Report any detected defects to product evaluation personnel, and prepare a strategy to manage defects
4. Manage test traceability
  • 4.1 Create a traceability matrix to correlate relationship between marketing requirements and detailed requirements of software product to matching parts of design, test plan and test cases
  • 4.2 Critically analyse testing metrics produced by test tool to manage tracking of defects and plan process improvements based on the metrics
  • 4.3 Produce an evaluation report from traceability matrix to manage defects or failures from the test plan
