Assignment 2: Software Test Document
Total marks: 20% of course grade
Due date: see course description
Submission: via Moodle
***Beware about the late penalty mentioned in the course description***
This assignment is a group assessment, where one submission is made per group and all individuals in the
group receive the same grade. There should be 2-3 students in each group.
Purpose:
The purpose of the assignment is to help you to:-
practice and improve your team working skills
analyze and evaluate a set of software requirements and decide an appropriate testing regime
write professional level testing documentation
develop a good understanding of professional industry standards for software testing
Introduction:
For any software development, testing activities need to be fully documented.
The IEEE 829 Standard prescribes a set of documents that cover the various stages of testing,
including:
Master Test Plan (MTP) provides an overall test planning and test management document for
multiple levels of test
Level Test Plan (LTP): provides for each level of testing, the scope, approach, resources, and schedule of
the testing activities. It lists items being tested, the features to be tested, the tasks to be performed, the
personnel responsible for each task, and the associated risk(s) need to be identified.
Level Test Design (LTD): details test cases and the expected results as well as test pass criteria.
Level Test Case (LTC): specifies the test data for use in running the test cases identified in the Level Test
Design.
Assignment tasks:
Commence your assignment task by reading the case study documents for the Online Backstage
Management System. The documents are
Software Requirements Specification (SRS)
Software Architecture Design Document (SADD)
Administrator documentation

User documentation
Each group will need to submit a Software Test Document. The document will describe, in as
much detail as possible, a full testing suite for the Online Backstage Management System. The
testing suite should include descriptions of the unit, integration and system testing levels and
contain a detailed requirements traceability matrix.
To create the Software Test Document, groups should use the format shown in the sample
Software Test Documentation shown in Lecture 5, slide 23, as this format incorporates features of
master test plan
level test plans for unit, integration and system testing levels that should relate to the
requirements traceability matrix
level test designs for unit, integration and system testing with details of the specific test data for
each of the test cases.
Note: It is not necessary to include Section 4 or Appendix A as suggested in slide 23, as it will not
be possible to conduct testing of the Online Backstage Management System software in this
assignment.
