In the test plan you can list the quality objectives for the release.
Typically, quality objectives might include performance variables such as
the number of concurrent users that the application under test must support
or the time allowed for certain functions. As a quality objective, you might
also want to state the maximum number of severity one, severity two, and severity
three defects that you can accept before you declare a product ready to ship.
In this section of the test plan you create a table, with one
objective per row.
To define a quality objective:
- Open the Quality Objectives section of a test
plan.
- Click the Add Row icon (
).
- Under Quality Objectives Description, type
the description of the quality objective, for example, No priority
1 defects or Execution Success Rate greater than 95%.
- Under Current Value, type the current value
of the objective, for example, Three priority 1 defects.
- Under Status, select a status from the list.
Choices include Successful, Successful with
Exception, Low or Not successful, Not
started, and Unresolved.
- Repeat these steps for any additional quality goals that you want
to add, or click the Delete Row button to remove a
goal.
- Click Save to save your changes to the test
plan.
