Test Plan
Test Plan Overview
This test plan outlines the scope, approach, resources, and schedule for testing a web-based e-commerce application. The goal is to ensure that all functional and non-functional requirements specified for the application are met.
1. Objectives
- Verify that the application meets the defined requirements.
- Identify defects early in the development lifecycle.
- Ensure cross-browser compatibility.
- Validate performance under expected user loads.
2. Scope
The following components of the application are included in this test plan:
- User Registration and Authentication
- Product Browsing and Search
- Shopping Cart Functionality
- Payment Processing
- Order Confirmation and Tracking
- Mobile Responsiveness
- Performance Testing
3. Test Scenarios and Data
| Scenario ID | Scenario Description | Test Data | Expected Outcome | |-------------|------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------| | TS001 | User Registration | Valid user details (Name, Email, Password) | User is registered successfully with a confirmation message.| | TS002 | User Authentication | Valid username/password combination | User is logged in successfully. | | TS003 | Invalid User Authentication | Invalid username/password combination | Error message indicating invalid credentials. | | TS004 | Product Search with valid keyword | Search term: "laptop" | A list of products containing "laptop" is displayed. | | TS005 | Product Browsing and Pagination | Navigate through product categories and pages | Products are displayed correctly with pagination working. | | TS006 | Adding Products to Shopping Cart | Product ID of available items | Item is successfully added to the shopping cart. | | TS007 | Removing Products from Shopping Cart | Product ID of items in the cart | Item is removed from the shopping cart successfully. | | TS008 | Checkout Process (Valid Payment) | Valid credit card information | Order is placed successfully, and confirmation is shown. | | TS009 | Checkout Process (Invalid Payment) | Invalid credit card details | Error message indicating payment failure is displayed. | | TS010 | Order Confirmation and Tracking | Order ID from successful transaction | Order details are retrievable and accurate. | | TS011 | Mobile Responsiveness | Use on various devices (desktop, tablet, mobile) | Application displays correctly on all device sizes. | | TS012 | Performance Testing under load | Simulate 1000 concurrent users | Application responds within acceptable performance metrics. |
4. Resources Required
- Testers: 2 QA Testers
- Tools: Selenium for UI testing, Postman for API testing, JMeter for performance testing, and BrowserStack for cross-browser testing.
- Environment: Staging and Production environments with access to necessary databases and services.
5. Schedule
Testing should commence once development is completed. The timeline is as follows:
| Task | Start Date | End Date | |-------------------------------|------------|------------| | Test Case Preparation | TBD | TBD | | Functional Testing | TBD | TBD | | Performance Testing | TBD | TBD | | Cross-Browser Testing | TBD | TBD | | Bug Reporting and Fixing | TBD | TBD | | Final Testing and Approval | TBD | TBD |
6. Reporting
- Defects will be logged in a tracking tool, such as JIRA.
- Regular status meetings will be held to discuss testing progress and issues.
7. Risks
- Development delays could impact the testing timeline.
- Insufficient test data could lead to incomplete testing.
8. Approvals
- Test plan to be reviewed and approved by the Project Manager and Development Lead.
Note: The actual dates will be finalized based on project timelines.
By adhering to this test plan, we ensure that the e-commerce application is rigorously evaluated for quality and performance, ultimately delivering a reliable product to users.
