1 Summary
The system development is a major process where the development team conducts system
requirements analysis, the system design and the system development. This is report about the
test plan for the proposed Online Backstage Management System that is meant to record the
various competitors who are classified according to sections.
This report covers the various aspects in the test plan that includes the master test plan, the unit
test plan, integration test plan and system test plan.
The report however highlights the various test cases, traceability matrix test scope, test objective,
test purpose, roles and responsibilities of involved people, the items to be tested , the items not to
be tested, the test approach to be used, the test environment, the Gantt chart and the test
document approvals.
The system testing will therefore be important to ensure each system unit is fully functional and
all the entire integrated system is also functional.

2 Test plan - including requirements traceability matrix
2.1 Master test plan
2.2 Instruction
This is the test plan document that is meant to define the process of doing the master test plan.
After the outlining of the master test plan the test plan documents will be constantly be reviewed
and then be approved by the selected technical development team of this project and the selected
business team member’s representatives. In case there are some changes that will be introduced
while executing or testing the system project, the master test plan document will be updated and
re-approved by both technical team and business representative team members.
2.3 Purpose
This test plan is designed due to the following purposes:
i. Documenting the entire tests processes.
ii. Describing of the test strategy which includes the test levels.
iii. To include the various test activities that will be performed.
iv. Documenting those who will be performing the testing activities.
2.4 Test Objectives
The following are the master plan objectives:
i. Providing the 100% test coverage of the documented system requirements.
ii. To cover the system software design documented elements.
iii. To do the execution of the various test cases during the users functional testing.
iv. To do the execution of the performance testing.
v. Creating, maintaining and controlling the tests environments.

developing and coding the entire system components.
Developers Manager This is the person that will assist the development and
implementation of the entire system master test plan.
Program Manager This is the person that is responsible of planning and
executing the proposed project and also plays a role in
assisting the developer manager in creating the master
test plan.
Stake holders These are the people who hold a place in the organization
and their responsibility would likely affect the system
results.
Tests Analysts These are the people who will be doing the full system
execution of testing processes which includes the
verifying the system technical requirements and the

maintaining and controlling the test environment.
2.6 Test Scope
This master test plan is going to be used in testing of all Online Backstage Management System
requirements with exception of few requirements and the selected requirements will be tested by
the development team and other stake holders with a reason to ensure that the system is fully
functional and all requirements are meet. However in this master plan the tests will cover the
integration, user acceptance, level and regression testing.
This test plan will not include the user certifications which will be done by the finance team and
unit testing that will be done by the external team.
