This document outlines the overall testing strategy, objectives, scope, and approach for the software project. It includes details on test environments, test schedules, and the types of testing to be performed. The test plan serves as a roadmap for the testing activities throughout the project

These are detailed step-by-step instructions that define how to execute specific test scenarios. Test cases specify the inputs, expected outputs, and any preconditions or assumptions. They serve as a guide for testers to verify the functionality, performance, and usability of the software.

For automated testing, test scripts are developed using tools or programming languages to automate the execution of test cases. These scripts contain instructions and logic to interact with the software under test, perform validations, and generate test results.

This refers to the set of input values or datasets used during testing. Test data is carefully designed to cover various scenarios, including valid and invalid inputs, boundary conditions, and edge cases. It ensures thorough testing coverage and helps identify potential issues.

Whenever a defect or bug is discovered during testing, a defect report is created. It includes information about the defect, such as its severity, impact, steps to reproduce, and the expected and actual results. Defect reports are typically managed using a defect tracking system, allowing stakeholders to prioritize and track the status of each issue.

These documents capture the detailed execution results of test cases, including pass/fail status, execution time, and any issues encountered during testing. Test logs provide a record of the testing activities, while test reports summarize the overall test results, including metrics and statistics

This includes the configuration and setup of test environments, including hardware, software, and network setups. It ensures that the testing environment closely resembles the production environment, allowing for accurate testing and replication of real-world scenarios.

A test summary report provides an overview of the testing activities, including the test coverage, executed test cases, defects found, and overall test results. Test metrics, such as defect density, test coverage, and pass/fail rates, offer quantitative measurements to evaluate the quality of the software.

SQA testing often involves generating documentation related to quality processes, standards, and best practices. This may include quality assurance policies, test process documents, test strategy documents, and other relevant artifacts.

SQA testing may involve providing recommendations and improvement suggestions based on the findings and observations during testing. These suggestions aim to enhance the quality and reliability of the software, as well as optimize the testing process.
