Assume systems analysts are developing a test plan for the user interface of a hotel reservation system. As the front desk clerks are entering customers and payment information into the system, they will be able to either enter an option code into a text box or select an option code from a drop-down list. A combo box was used to implement this, since it was felt that the front desk clerks would quickly become familiar with the most common option codes and would prefer entering them directly to speed up the entry process.

It is now time to develop the test for validating the option code field during data entry. If the customer did not make any room reservation options, the front desk clerks should enter "none"; the field should not be blank. The valid option codes are four-character alphabetic codes and should be matched against a list of valid codes. Prepare a test plan for the test of the option code field during data entry

1        Introduction

1.1        Purpose of The Test Plan Document

[Provide the purpose of the Test Plan Document. This document should be tailored to fit a particular project’s needs.]

The Test Plan document documents and tracks the necessary information required to effectively define the approach to be used in the testing of the project’s product. The Test Plan document is created during the Planning Phase of the project. Its intended audience is the project manager, project team, and testing team. Some portions of this document may on occasion be shared with the client/user and other stakeholder whose input/approval into the testing process is needed.

2.1        Test Risks / Issues

 [Describe the risks associated with product testing or provide a reference to a document location where it is stored. Also outline appropriate mitigation strategies and contingency plans.]

2.2        Items to be Tested / Not Tested

[Describe the items/features/functions to be tested that are within the scope of this test plan. Include a description of how they will be tested, when, by whom, and to what quality standards. Also include a description of those items agreed not to be tested.]
