Test Plan
Introduction
Purpose
The purpose of the document is to bring up the details of the testing activities that shall be
carried out for the testing of Project Management Information System (PMIS).
Objectives
 To illustrate the testing processes that shall be conducted on the PMIS
 To make sure that the testing scope and strategy is clear among all the project
resources
 To define the acceptance criteria for the testing processes
Testing Scope
The scope of the testing process is to cover the quality planning, assurance, and control
activities for the PMIS. The scope covers the determination and reporting of the bugs along
with the follow-up activities in the form of regression testing.
Overall Strategy and Approach
Testing Strategy
The system testing activities will be conducted to determine the correctness of the functional
components and specifications of the PMIS. The testing process will test the workflows along
with the verification of the internal and external interfaces.
System Testing Entrance Criteria
The initiation of the system testing process shall be marked by the following activities.
Testing Types
 Usability Testing: The user interface attributes, content, and the overall look & feel of
the PMIS will be determined for the general usability. The goal will be to ensure that
the navigation of the PMIS is smooth and the users succeed in accessing all of the
functions (Klug, 2017).
 Functional Testing: The primary objective of the testing type will be to make sure that
all of the components are designed as per the functional aspects. The testing process
shall compare the functionalities implemented in the PMIS with the business
specifications and rules.

Test Data
The use of dummy data will be done to carry out the testing processes and activities. The
functional testing process will be carried out using the dummy project information that will
have striking similarity with the real project information.
The end-users will be invited to carry out the usability testing for the project.
Execution Plan
The use of the test tools, such as HP Quality Centre will be done for the test case
management and handling of the testing information. The test scenarios and test cases will be
fed in the tool and the tracking and execution will be marked in the same.
The use of Bugzilla will be done for logging, tracking, and management of the defects
associated with the PMIS (Flores & Polo, 2010).
Environment
The test environment will be developed for the conduction of all of the testing activities. The
development team will provide the test builds and the use of dummy data will be done to
carry out the testing processes.
Test Schedule
The overall duration for the testing process will be 65 days. It will run in parallel with the
development process. The resolution dates on the defects may change as per the response
provided by the development team. The number of open defects at the end of the testing
process shall be nil.
Assumptions
 The testing tools required by the testing resources will be available to the team before
the initiation of the process.
 The test reports will be shared with the stakeholders during the testing phase.
Business Continuity Plan
Business Continuity Plan (BCP) for the Project Management Information System (PMIS)
shall make sure that the business processes run without any interruptions and there is no
damage done to any areas of the project or the organization (Heng, 2015). The planning shall
be done so that the internal and external threats are identified and the protection of the assets
