Sample Test Plan
Chapter 7 - Error Management & Configuration Management
During System Test, errors will be recorded as they are detected on Error
Report forms. These forms will be input on the Error Management System each
evening with status "Error Raised" or "Query Raised". The Error
Review Team will meet each morning (10am, Conference Room) to review and
prioritise DN's raised the previous day, and assign them or drop them as
appropriate. This team will consist of the following representatives:-
- A. Boring - Development Team Leader
- B. Curie - Business Analyst
- C. Durine - Test Controller
- D. Ewards - Business Representative
Errors, which are agreed
as valid, will be categorised as follows by the Error Review Team :-
- Category A - Serious errors that prevent System test of a
particular function continuing or serious data type error
- Category B - Serious or missing data related errors that will not
prevent implementation.
- Category C - Minor errors that do not prevent or hinder
functionality.
Category A errors should be turned around by Bug Fix Team in 48 hours (this
is turn around from time raised at Error Review Team meeting to time fix is
released to System Test environment). In the event of an A error that prevents
System Test continuing, the turnaround should be within 4 hours.
Category B
errors should be turned around in 1 day; while
Category C errors should be
turned around in 3 days.
However, the release of newer versions of the software will be co-ordinated
with the Test Controller - new versions should only be released when agreed, and
where there is a definite benefit (i.e. contains fixes to X or more numbers of
bugs).
