Detailed Testing Plan and Analysis for Online Movie Rental Application

This document presents a comprehensive testing plan for an online movie rental application. The plan encompasses the scope of testing, including functional (unit, integration, user acceptance) and non-functional requirements (performance, security, scalability, reliability, availability, usability, efficiency). It outlines features both in and out of scope, assumptions, and a detailed test schedule spanning 46 days. The plan defines team roles and responsibilities, deliverables (test plans, test cases, test design specifications, test data, error logs, and final reports), and the testing tools utilized. Different types of tests are outlined including unit, integration, user acceptance, performance, security and scalability testing. Furthermore, it identifies potential risks, such as poorly defined project scope and lack of technical skills, and proposes mitigation strategies like client interviews, training, and outsourcing. The document offers a structured approach to ensure the application's quality and alignment with client requirements.

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

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
 project has required expertise required for executing the testing process
 support and assistance is received from the client throughout the project execution so
that the project is successfully executed
 testing process is effective and the application is consistent with the client
requirements
