Activity: Test
This capability pattern covers the super-set of activities and workflows for a typical Test iteration. It should be specialized per testing level or type, and in function of the temporal place of the iteration within the larger development lifecycle (inception, elaboration, construction, or transition).

Work Breakdown Structure
Description
The following decisions should be made regarding this workflow:
  • Decide how to perform the workflow by looking at the activities in this workflow. Study the diagram with its guard conditions and the following guidelines.
  • Decide what parts of the Test activities to perform. One key issue for the Test workflow is to decide what quality dimensions are interesting for the project in general, and most importantly, for each iteration (see Concept: Testing Qualitative Requirements). Decide what appropriate combinations of types of tests you should focus on for the current iteration.
