Test Plan

1 Introduction

This test plan outlines the testing approach for the e-learning system developed
using the MERN stack.

The plan defines the test approach, scope, and activities to ensure the system
functions as intended, meets user needs, and delivers a robust learning
experience.

2 Business Background

The e-learning system aims to provide a platform for online education, offering
courses and resources to students and instructors. This System provides
Platform for job searchers to search for jobs and also can enhance their
knowledge and skills.

3 Test Objectives

• Validate core functionalities of the e-learning platform from student and


instructor perspectives.
• Identify and resolve bugs impacting user experience and system stability.
• Ensure the system adheres to security best practices and protects user
data.
• Evaluate system performance under various load conditions.
• Assess user interface usability and information accessibility.

4 Scope
Inclusions
This test plan covers the following functionalities:

• User registration, login, and authentication


• Course browsing and enrollment
• Content delivery (text, videos, quizzes)
• Assessment functionalities (quizzes, assignments)
• Progress tracking and reporting
• Instructor content management (course creation, editing)
• Communication features (e.g., forums, announcements)
• System administration features (user management, content moderation)

Exclusions
• User Interfaces.
• Hardware Interfaces.
• Software Interfaces.
• Database logical.

5 Test types Identified

• Unit Testing: Verifies individual components of the React frontend and


Node.js backend.
• Integration Testing: Ensures components interact and data flows
seamlessly between frontend and backend. Like props handling between
the react components.
• Functional Testing: Validates core functionalities of the e-learning system
from user perspectives. Ensure that functions performing according to
requirements.
• Testing APIs: Testing Apis to check the seamless data flow between the
frontend and backend mainly the type of data passing between the
technologies.
• Regression Testing: because of Project sensitivity and Scale Re-executes
critical test cases after code changes to ensure functionality remains intact.

6 Problems Perceived

• Potential bugs in frontend components leading to UI issues or data display


errors.
• Backend logic errors impacting functionalities like course enrollment, or
progress tracking.
• Security vulnerabilities allowing unauthorized access.
• Performance bottlenecks causing slow loading times or system crashes
under high user traffic.
• Usability issues hindering user navigation, interaction, or information
comprehension.

7 Architecture

The E-learning system build using React.js for the frontend with supportive UI
libraries like Material UI and Node.js as Backend e.g express framework with
MongoDB as a backend.

8 Environment

The testing will be conducted in a dedicated test environment mirroring the


production environment as closely as possible.

So, Testing will be conducted in a controlled environment using appropriate testing


tools and frameworks (e.g., Jest, Mocha, Postman).

9 Assumptions

• All code is documented and adheres to coding standards.


• A testing framework and tools are available for automating test cases.
• The testing environment will simulate real-world usage scenarios.

10 Functionality

Test cases will be designed to cover all functionalities identified in Section 4. This
will include positive and negative testing scenarios to ensure the system behaves
as expected under various conditions.
