Lab 3 - Prototype Test Plan

1 Historical Perspective

This exercise used to be a separate Prototype Acceptance Test Plan document. With the changes to Lab 4 (i.e., the User Manual)… Lab 3 is now part of the development process for the User Manual.

The traditional Lab 3 sections were:

1. Objectives
2. References
3. Test Plan
3.1 Testing Approach
3.2 Identification of Tests
3.3 Test Schedule
3.4 Fault Reporting and Data Recording
3.5 Resource Requirements
3.6 Test Environment
3.7 Test Responsibilities
4. Test Procedures
4.1 Test Case Category 1
4.1.n x.y.z… Test Case
5. Traceability to Requirements

2 Required Sections

However, we are now building a wiki. Our focus will be on pages, not sections. Your wiki must have a

  1. Home or Landing page.

    This page should include a brief introduction of your product (i.e., an abbreviated section based on Lab 1 Section 1 and Lab 2 Section 1).

  2. References page

    This page should be an updated set of references that your team has maintained throughout CS 410 and CS 411W.

  3. Glossary & Definitions page

    This is an updated version of the list of terms your team has maintained through CS 410 and CS 411W.

  4. Table of Contents page (or section).

    This can either be its own page, or a section on the home page.

  5. Collection of Process, Interface, and Task pages.

    Instructions and figures must be divided up into sections (and pages) based on functionality (e.g., how to log in, how to add a contact, how to not download more RAM).

    Your team has a fair amount of latitude in how the pages or organized or divided. However, this latitude must be combined with careful discussion and planning.

    For Lab 3… these sections and pages need to be identified. The content itself will be added as parts of your team’s Prototype are finalized.

3 Contributions

Everyone must contribute to the user manual (or manuals). At the top of each wiki page or section heading add an author block.

Example 1: Sample Author Block Markdown
**Authors:** Thomas J. Kennedy, Janet Brunelle

That markdown will result in

Example 2: Sample Author Block Result

Authors: Thomas J. Kennedy, Janet Brunelle

This author block and the wiki edit history will be used to check individual contributions.

4 Submission

  1. You will (as a team) submit the URL of your team’s GitHub wiki in Canvas.

  2. Add a User Manual - Lab 3 & Lab 4 link to your team’s website on GitHub pages.
