The guidelines to be followed during the creation of Integration Test Plans are:
- The number of new units or tasks to be tested by one Test Plan should not exceed five.
- To minimize the number of test cases, combine test cases into one if they test the same interface point.
- Use test cases which already exist. Portions of available Unit Test Plans or System Test Plans can be used where applicable.
- When testing few or minor changes to an existing subsystem, structure the Test Plan such that the bulk of it will be regression testing using an existing Integration or System Test plan. New test cases can then be added to cover the detailed testing of changes.
- Arrange test cases in the order that minimizes the effort required for test setup and that keeps related functions together. Where possible, arrange the test cases in the order they will be performed.
- Whenever possible, design test plans to run independently of other test plans.
- Design test cases and test data which reveal errors in the interaction between the software components. (Check the various response codes to calls to external interfaces.).
