Test Plan
Test Methodology
The test methodology that will be followed in the project will be Six Sigma and Total Quality
Management (TQM) standards and methods. The use of these methodologies will ensure that
the overall quality of the tools and equipment is maintained (Ravichandran, 2006).
Testing Tools
There will be testing tools that will be followed and included in the project. HP Quality
Centre is the tool that will be used for test case creation, test execution, and defect
management.
There will be automated testing activities conducted using the Selenium tool. It will be used
in the performance and security testing methods.
Performance Testing
There are various system qualities that will be tested for the vendor products and equipment.
Performance will be one of the primary qualities that will be tested using performance test
cases and their execution. The performance will be tested on the basis of product response
time, throughput time, load balancing abilities, and user responsiveness.
There will be increase and decrease of the load on the products that will be applied to
determine the variations in the performance of the product as per the load applied on it.
Usability Testing
The usability test activities will be carried out in a set of phases. The prototype of the end-
product will be obtained from the three vendors. The prototype will have limited set of
functionalities. A usability test plan will be already in place comprising of the roles and
responsibilities of the testers, details of the usability testing tools, and the defect logging
process. The test will be conducted at the business locations of Around the World and the
usability test cases will be executed. The test results will then be documented (Hertzum,
2016).
The vendor product and prototype that will have the least number of defects reported will
then be selected.

Security Testing
Security of the vendor product is one of the essential requirements. It will be tested in a
phased manner. There will be security test cases developed in the first step that will include
the security aspects of the website from the areas as information privacy, information
security, network protection, network security, and likewise.
The security test cases will be executed to ensure that the product is protected from the
security events as malware attacks, man in the middle attacks, eavesdropping attacks, denial
of service attacks, and distributed denial of service attacks, data breaches, data manipulation,
and data leakage. The access control, authentication, backup abilities, and the security
controls integrated with the tool will also be determined during the test processes (Grossman,
2012).
Quality Assurance & Control
There will market reviews and customer response analysis carried out for each of the vendor
product to understand the customer satisfaction and engagement levels. Quality audits and
reviews will also be done as per Six Sigma and TQM quality standards.
Defect Logging & Reporting
There will be various defects that will be reported after the conduction of different types of
testing activities. These defects will be logged using the HP Quality Centre as the tool. The
defect will have various fields that the tester shall include. These will include a unique defect
id that will be automatically generated by the tool. The other information will include the
heading for the defect, defect category, defect summary, detailed description of the defect,
steps to reproduce, expected outcome, actual outcome, resource responsible for handling the
defect, reproduction rate, priority, and severity levels. The vendors will be provided with the
defects reported by the testers for the resolution of the same.
