-
It specifies the criteria that denote a successful completion of a test phase. The exit criteria are the targeted results of the test and are necessary before proceeding to the next phase of development. Example: 95% of all critical test cases must pass.
Some methods of defining exit criteria are by specifying a targeted run rate and pass rate.
- Run rate is ratio between number test cases executed/total test cases of test specification. For example, the test specification has total 120 TCs, but the tester only executed 100 TCs, So the run rate is 100/120 = 0.83 (83%)
- Pass rate is ratio between numbers test cases passed / test cases executed. For example, in above 100 TCs executed, there’re 80 TCs that passed, so the pass rate is 80/100 = 0.8 (80%)
This data can be retrieved in Test Metric documents.
- Run rate is mandatory to be 100% unless a clear reason is given.
- Pass rate is dependent on project scope, but achieving high pass rate is a goal.
Example: Your Team has already done the test executions. They report the test result to you, and they want you to confirm the Exit Criteria.
In above case, the Run rate is mandatory is 100%, but the test team only completed 90% of test cases. It means the Run rate is not satisfied, so do NOT confirm the Exit Criteria
Step 5) Resource Planning
Resource plan is a detailed summary of all types of resources required to complete project task. Resource could be human, equipment and materials needed to complete a project
The resource planning is important factor of the test planning because helps in determining the number of resources (employee, equipment…) to be used for the project. Therefore, the Test Manager can make the correct schedule & estimation for the project.
This section represents the recommended resources for your project.
