Purpose
The purpose of this systematic testing effort is to achieve test coverage sufficient to make good ship/no-ship decisions about and to write accurate and timely release notes for the 8.2.0 release.
Battle Plan
- Convert one of our lists of features into a priority-tree of of "we-must", "we-hope", and "we-wish" test cases.
- Write the "must"-priority test cases and finalize the exact procedures for recording test results.
- When documented, the procedures for recording test results should be cited above.
- Modify our call for volunteer test labor to request help writing and executing our test cases.
- Draft other people as needed in order to reach our desired confidence in our information.
- When feasible, contribute patches to the Tinderbox!
Bibliography
Never having performed a large-scale systematic software test myself, I went looking for reference works and found:
- ISO/IEC 12207.0,
- IEEE STD 829-1998,
- MIL-STD-498, and
- ISO/IEC TR 19759:2005(E) (which has a nice bibliography)
