1. Scope of testing:
The scope of the testing described here defines the functional and non-functional
requirements that will be tested as part of the testing process. In order to ensure that the
testing process is effective and accurate, the testing process will consider the requirements
that are specified here in this context. Features that are not included in the scope statement
will not be considered and those features will not be tested while testing for the application is
executed.
1.1. In scope:
Functional requirements:
 As part of the functional requirements, Unit testing will be done for identifying if all
of the units of the application is working properly or not
 After conducting the unit testing, next integration testing will be performed to ensure
that the application is working properly after all of the application modules are
properly integrated
 User acceptance testing will be done to identify if the application is consistent with
the requirements as specified by the client during the project initiation and planning
Non-functional requirements:
 Performance of the application in different platforms including web platform will be
conducted
 Security of the application will be tested to identify security flaws in the application
 Scalability of the application will be tested to identify how the application integrates
with different platforms

Along with these some other important non-functional requirements that will be tested are:
 Reliability of the application
 Availability of the application
 Usability of the application
 Efficiency of the application
2. Out of scope:
Some of the features, which will not be tested because the application requirement
specification does not include that, are the followings:
 User Interfaces
 Hardware Interfaces
 Software Interfaces
 Database logical
 Communications Interfaces
3. Assumptions:
Some of the assumptions that are considered in this project are:
 each release of the application which is accompanied by a note is provided with
information about all of the implemented features and how they impact the system
 all “bugs-blockers” are analysed with high priority
 all the bugs that are found are fixed before the next software release is done

3
TESTING PLAN FOR THE ONLINE MOVIE RENTAL APPLICATION
 all documents are up-to-date and those documents are delivered to the testing team in
time
 all necessary equipment and tools that are required for the testing are provided and
those tools are ready for testing
 schedule for the testing process is reviewed if there are any obstacles that affect
testing activity
 project has required budget throughout the project execution

10
TESTING PLAN FOR THE ONLINE MOVIE RENTAL APPLICATION
which are tested in the project, satisfies requirements specified for the testing of the

8. Types of tests that needs to be executed:
Type of test Description of testing Purpose of the testing Acceptance criteria
Unit testing Here individual module
of the application will
be tested. The modules
that will be tested here
are login to the system,
accessing movies
featured on the
application, making
payment for movie
rental and provide
feedback for the system
To identify if the
modules of the
application is working
properly or not
Users after
providing correct
login details should
be able to login to
the system.
There should be no
issue while
accessing the
movies form the
application and
along with that
users should not
find any issue while
selecting and
adding movies from
the application to

13
TESTING PLAN FOR THE ONLINE MOVIE RENTAL APPLICATION
the cart integrated
with the application
After adding the
movies to the cart
the cart should
provide payment
options including
online payment
through the credit
and debit card
The link provided
for feedback for
service should work
perfectly when
users select and an
feedback form
should be generated
without any issue
Integration testing The individual modules
are integrated and tested
together for identifying
the performance of the
application
To identify issues with
the application so that
the application after
commercial release
works perfectly
All of the modules
should work
perfectly for
providing an
integrated

14
TESTING PLAN FOR THE ONLINE MOVIE RENTAL APPLICATION
experience to the
consumers. For
example after a
consumer select a
movie from the
application, it
should
automatically added
to the cart for
payment which
means there should
be proper
integration between
the related modules
so that the overall
application is
effective and
efficient
User acceptance testing Here the client reviews
the performance of the
application and provides
feedback if any
modification is required
To ensure that the
client is satisfied with
the project and
enhance stakeholder
satisfaction
Client should be
fully satisfied and
the client
requirements should
be integrated
properly with the
project execution

15
TESTING PLAN FOR THE ONLINE MOVIE RENTAL APPLICATION
Performance testing Performance of the
application is tested
across different
platforms with reference
to the different modules
of the application
To identify if there is
any issue in the
performance of the
application when it is
accessed on different
platforms
Application should
have no
performance issues
and it should offer
similar experience
irrespective of the
platforms
Security testing Security of the user data
such as username and
password, payment
information including
credit card and debit
card information are
tested. It particularly
tests the encryption and
authentication level for
these important data
To identify security
issue with the
application
The application
should not allow
anyone who are not
authorized to access
these data from the
database of the
application
Scalability testing Scalability of the
application is tested and
it is reviewed how
easily and efficiently the
application is exported
across different
platforms
To identify if there is
any issue in the
scalability of the
application which is
required for integration
of the application
across different
platforms
the application
needs to be easily
portable across
different platforms

9. Risks associated with the testing and procedure to mitigate them:
Risk Description Strategy for mitigation
Scope of the project is not
well defined
Execution of the project is not
in accordance with the client
requirements
Interview with the client to
identify their requirements and
then analyzing those requirements
with the project team to ensure
that the requirements of the
project are communicated
properly and along with the
execution of the project is in
accordance with the requirements
Lack of technical skills for
implementing the project
The project does not have the
required technical skills that
are required for implementing
the testing process for the
mobile application of renting
movies online
Training is provided to the project
team and if required outsourcing
is considered for arranging the
required skill set through human
resource procurement

17
TESTING PLAN FOR THE ONLINE MOVIE RENTAL APPLICATION
Project is delayed compared
to the schedule defined during
the project planning
Lack of planning for
execution of the scheduled
project activities has delayed
the project of testing the
online movie rental
application
Project tracking software is
deployed for preparing effective
project schedule and track
execution of the project execution
for ensuring that these activities
are being executed properly
according to the project schedule
which is defined for the project
Project budget is increased
compared to the estimated
budget
The project requires extra
investment for completing the
testing process
The budget for the project should
be designed such that it include
some extra budget so that it is
applied when there is budget
overflow in the project and along
with that budget tracking software
should be used for ensuring that
the financial resources are applied
properly in the project

18
TESTING PLAN FOR THE ONLINE MOVIE RENTAL APPLICATION
Change of requirements
during the project execution
The client wants something
new to be executed in the
testing process, which is not
included in the project scope
and these needs to be done
within the approved time and
budget
The client should communicate
the requirement for extra time and
budget for implementing the new
requirements as those were not
specified in the scope of the
project approved by the client
when the project plan was
provided to the client before the
execution of the project
