ITECH7409 Software Testing
Assignment 2 (Group) – Software Test Document
Overview
This assignment is a group assessment, where one submission is made per group and all
individuals in the group receive the same grade. There should be 2-3 students in each group.
For any software development, testing activities need to be fully documented.
The IEEE 829-2008 Standard prescribes a set of documents that cover the various stages of testing,
including:
Master Test Plan (MTP): provides an overall test planning and test management document for
multiple levels of test
Level Test Plan (LTP): provides for each level of testing, the scope, approach, resources, and
schedule of the testing activities. It lists items being tested, the features to
be tested, the tasks to be performed, the personnel responsible for each
task, and the associated risk(s) need to be identified.
Level Test Design (LTD): details test cases and the expected results as well as test pass criteria.
Level Test Case (LTC): specifies the test data for use in running the test cases identified in the
Level Test Design.
Timelines and Expectations
Marks and Percentage Value of Task: 20 marks 20%

Assessment Details
Commence your assignment task by reading the case study documents for the Online Backstage
Management System (OBMS). The documents are:
• Software Requirements Specification (SRS)
• Software Architecture Design Document (SADD)
• Administrator documentation
• User documentation
Requirements:
Each group will need to submit a Software Test Document. The document will describe, in as much
detail as possible, a full testing suite for the Online Backstage Management System. The testing
suite should include descriptions of the unit, integration and system testing levels and contain a
detailed requirements traceability matrix.
To create the Software Test Document, groups should use the format shown in the sample Software
Test Documentation shown in Lecture 5, slide 23, as this format incorporates features of
• master test plan
• level test plans for unit, integration and system testing levels that should relate to the
requirements traceability matrix
• level test designs for unit, integration and system testing with details of the specific test data
for each of the test cases
Note: It is not necessary to include Section 4 or Appendix A as suggested in slide 23, as it will
not be possible to conduct testing of the Online Backstage Management System software in
this assignment.
