Brief Outline |
The information (as opposed to raw data) contained by the Test Findings may vary depending on the technology and
tools used both during test execution to capture the test log, and after the fact to conduct analysis of the raw Test
Log data. Here are some ideas for data that can be determined, and then made available for review and evaluation:
-
Test Findings identifier (ID for identifying these Test Findings from others)
-
Time, date, name of tester, and environment information (such as O/S, machine characteristics, and so on)
-
Specific identification of the Target Test Items (such as version, objects, and files)
-
Test Cases intended to be executed (and traced to the requirements for test)
-
Test Cases executed (and traced to the requirements for test)
-
Size measurement of Target Test Items to be executed
-
Size measurement of Target Test Items executed
-
Response time for specified sequences of events
-
Trace data containing the details of the conversations between actors and the Target Test Items, or between
objects in the Target Test Items
-
Actual result of each Test Case executed
-
Differences between expected result and actual result
-
An indication of pass or fail for each Test Case executed
-
Actual level of completeness and positive results from each Test Suite executed
-
Any unexpected or abnormal results or behaviors
