Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to plan and manage a test regime by developing testing artefacts to evaluate application software for a telecommunications network.It applies to individuals working as network engineers or senior technical staff within project management roles, and includes technologies in mobile phones, wireless modems, set top boxes, media centres, web applications and content servers using application software to provide a telecommunications service.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Plan the test effort and develop test strategy for software testing
  • 1.1 Critically analyse functionalities of an application software from the system design document and create a test strategy for a new telecommunications product line
  • 1.2 Produce steps in developing test strategy and attributes of each step, according to enterprise policy
  • 1.3 Produce a test strategy to evaluate suitability of application software for integration into the telecommunications network
  • 1.4 Assess a range of tests required to evaluate performance and functionality of application software and determine tests required to suit the test regime
  • 1.5 Evaluate features of testing tool and debuggers, and select an appropriate tool to test the software application and detect faults
  • 1.6 Produce a test plan based on requirements of the project specifications, and identify testing artefacts required for model-based software testing
2. Plan the development of testing artefacts
  • 2.1 Develop software testing strategies for uncovering evidence of defects in software systems as part of the quality assurance process
  • 2.2 Produce a test dependency model of the relationship between the test regime and test levels in software testing for referencing and validation
  • 2.3 Critically analyse software testing requirements to determine domain testing and application testing artefacts requirements to validate the software product
3. Develop and manage testing artefacts
  • 3.1 Create reusable domain artefacts to detect early defects in domain testing
  • 3.2 Modify domain test artefacts by binding variability to create application test artefacts to detect defects in product line applications
  • 3.3 Produce test reporting associated with test cycle phases within the test plan
  • 3.4 Critically analyse test reports and evaluate the impact of the test plan with testing artefacts on the testing environment
  • 3.5 Manage progress of the test plan to minimise risks associated with testing and ensure the test complies with test requirements
  • 3.6 Report detected defects to product evaluation personnel and prepare a strategy to manage defects
  • 3.7 Critically analyse testing metrics produced by the test tool to manage tracking of defects, and use metrics to plan process improvements
  • 3.8 Produce an evaluation report from the traceability matrix to manage defects or failures from the test plan
