Process 7:A Test System Design and Implementation Process Step # Step Done? 1. Create or update an outline of test suites that can cover the risks to system quality for which testing has been identified as a recommended action. 2. Select an appropriate test suite and discover a new set of interesting test conditions within the most critical still-uncovered risk area; e.g., conditions that might provoke a particular set of failures or model actual usage. Define at a high level how to assess correctness of results under those test conditions. 3. Select the appropriate test techniques, given the test conditions to be explored, the verification of expected results desired, the time and budget available, the testability features of the system under test, the test environment, and the skills present in the test team. 4. Design, develop, acquire, enhance, configure, and document the testware, the test environment, and the test execution process to produce those conditions and verify those behaviors using the selected test techniques. Augment theoretical test techniques with empirical techniques, especially customer/user data, field failure reports previous and competitors’ releases, similar products, and similar set of risks to system quality , sales and marketing predictions on future usage, and other customer-centered inputs. 5. Should any testware, test environment, or test execution process elements prove unattainable during step 4 due to resource, schedule, or other limitations, repeat step 4 iteratively to accommodate any such limitations. 6. Test the test system, using static techniques e.g., reviews and dynamic techniques e.g., running the test . 7. Check the testware, test execution process description, test environment configuration information, test system test documentation from step six , and any other documentation or files produced into the project library or configuration management system.
