Integration testing will be performed according to the following:
- Integration tests will be run according to the Integration Test Plans by the Test Team Leader or Test Team Member.
- Actual results of the test runs are presented by printing documentation (reports, file dumps) or by demonstration (screen, panel displays).
- If any of the actual results do not agree with expected results, the person performing the test will complete a Problem Report (PR).
- After the necessary action has been taken to resolve the problem, the test run will be performed again from the beginning of the test step .The Test Plan may need to be updated, depending on the results of the test.
- Update the Tracking document at least once a day. As a test is completed, either successfully or unsuccessfully, the tester should update the Tracking document. The tester’s initials are to be updated each time a different person performs the test. If a test step is completed without any problem reports, the test step is considered “closed”. However, if a problem is raised after running a test step, the tester will indicate this in the tracking document. The tester updates the tracking document to reflect both the number of problem reports raised by, and the problem report PRS numbers associated with, the particular test step executed. (see tracking document template in the appendix entitled Matrices, Logs and indices). The Integration Test Team meets frequently to discuss the testing activities, possible conflicts and to review Problem Reports.
- The Integration Test Manager meets frequently with the Development Team Leaders to review Problem Reports, negotiate priorities for code fixes, and discuss support issues.
- When an error is found, do not spend a lot of time trying to debug the problem. Instead, raise a problem report providing as much details as possible so that the person or persons resolving the problem will know what to look for. Whenever possible, dump screens, logs, or tables to files or paper and forward a copy to whomever the problem reports are assigned. This will help everyone to get the problems reports answered as efficiently as possible.
