3. Formulating a cohesiveand broadly supported approach with which the test assignment can be successfully executed.
An important part of the planning phase is the creation of the test plan, for the purpose of informing the client and
other stakeholdersconcerning the approach, schedule, budget, activities and the (end) products to be delivered in
relation to the test process.If an overall master test plan exists, the test plan should be derived from it.

The Planning Phase
5. What exactly will be tested?
Based on business aspects:
Result, Risks, Time and Cost
Managing the Test Process
Unit Test
Load Test
Performance Test
Coded UI Test
7. Test Levels, Phases and Types
Every test must rely on previous tests
Test goals/depth of coverage per phase are coordinated with each other using a Master Test Plan.
All test types are supported by Visual Studio
Functional Testing, Examples, Story Tests, Prototypes, Simulations, Exploratory Testing, Scenarios,
Usability Testing, User Acceptance Testing, Alpha/Beta, Unit Tests, Component Tests, Performance &
Load Testing, Security Testing, ‘ility’ testing.

(describing the story)
Narrative: As a [role] I want [feature] so that [benefit].
Acceptance Criteria
(presented as scenarios)
Given [context]
and [some more context]...
When [event]
then [outcome] and [another outcome]...
Acceptance Criteria
15. Business Value
Product Backlog items have the attributes of a
description, order, and estimate and are often ordered
by value, risk, priority, and necessity.

Ordering the Backlog
16. Logical Test Cases
Logical test cases are a combination of test situations
derived from scenarios and data.
Test Coverage
A test design technique that is used to derive the
necessary test cases to achieve required coverage from
a specific test basis.
Acceptance Test Driven
17. "Are you done yet?“
Development Teams deliver an increment of a product
functionality every Sprint. This increment is useable, so
a Product Owner may choose to immediately release it.
Shared Understanding
Everyone must understand what “Done” means.
Definition of “Done”
21. It’s a team effort!
Do not forget to include testers in Sprint planning/execution.
Get Testing knowledge
This is a must have for proper estimation and effort planning!
Define Test Tasks
Testing should be an integral part of the “Definition of Done”!
Testing in a Sprint
22. To obtain, with the client’s agreement, a test basis that is of sufficient quality for designing the test cases. In order to
determine this, a testability review of the test basis is carried out during this phase, which will provide insight into the
testability of the system.
