QA Strategy For Testers: Manual System Testing
QA Strategy For Testers: Manual System Testing
The QA team will author and maintain a detailed written suite of manual tests to test
the entire system through the user interface. This plan will be detailed enough that a
person could repeatable carry out the tests from the test suite document and other
associated documents.
Regression testing
We can use a load testing tool and/or custom scripts to simulate heavy usage of the
system. Load will be defined by scalability parameters such as number of concurrent
users, number of transactions per second, or number/size of data items
stored/processed. We will verify that the system can handle loads within its capacity
without crashing, producing incorrect results, mixing up results for distinct users, or
corrupting the data. We will verify that when capacity limits are exceeded, the system
safely rejects, ignores, or defers requests that it cannot handle.
Beta testing Policy
• 4 current customers
• 40 members of our developers network
• 1000 members of the public
We must involve outsiders in a beta test, or early access, program. We must redirect
beta testers directions to focus on specific features of the system. We must actively
follow up with beta testers to encourage them to report issues.
