When you talk about 'standard' or 'government' test plans, what you mean is documentation as per IEE 829. Unfortunately this is an appallingly bad standard that guarantees inefficient and ineffective testing. However, this is what most test consultants peddle because it's easy to teach and some people are impressed by huge piles of test scripts (you might have guessed I'm not). It also maximises consultants' incomes because everything takes much longer than it needs to. I have run an outsource testing company for 6 years and we never use this type of documentation. I have many other resources that may be useful so I'll contact you off-list. Steve Green www.labscape.co.uk
_____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of James Jeffery Sent: 15 January 2008 12:09 To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: [WSG] Test Plans Hi All. Im not familiar with test plans for Websites, i have my own way of running tests that usually run of what the client wants i.e: "Is the header 320px heigh? and does it expand when the font size is incremented?". I have to do an in depth test plan for an assignment, which i would also use for future jobs. Has anyone got any good resources on test plans? I'd like to see a few government ones if possible and some 'standard' or 'defacto' plans if possible. Im not sure if this topic borderlines on being removed, but i feel its standards related and most the users here work or have worked for companies that use them or they use themselves so i felt i'd get a better response. Cheers guys. I await your replies and thanks for your time. ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ******************************************************************* ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
