i. Introduction
This Test Plan Version 1.1 provides the strategy for testing the project
“Cluster Management Systems”. This section of the Test Plan document describes
the following.
 Purpose
 Objectives

1. Document Purpose
This Test Plan reviews:

i. Existing project information,

ii. Business Requirements and critical transactions to be tested,
iii. Testing types and strategies to be implemented and
iv. A proposed testing schedule

2. Objectives
This document provides the platform for testing the project
“Cluster Management System”. The objective of testing is to see if the
project meets the “Software Requirement Specifications version 2.0”. This
document will provide - (1) the guidelines for the testing team to test the
functionalities embedded in the project and (2) help for evaluating the
Software Quality of the project.

ii. Project Scope

This section of the Test Plan document describes the (1) Scope of the
project “Cluster Management System” and (2) Out of Scope of the project
“Cluster Management System”.

1. Scope of the Project
“Cluster Mangement System” will be tested for its functionality
on a cluster of 3 computers. Each computer on the cluster is a Pentium III
(548 MHz) with Linux operating system. Testing include – (1) Unit testing,
(2) Integration testing, (3) System testing and (4) Customer Acceptance
Testing (CAT). Each test is scheduled to take one week with the Customer
Acceptance test on 11-11-2008.
The testing includes testing for several functions like
 Login feature
 Adding or deleting of an user
 Reboot a node
 Updating a user profile
 Adding or Deleting a node

2. Out of Scope of the Project

Performance of the project “Cluster Management System” for a
cluster of large number of computers is out of scope of this project at this
point of time.

iii. Project Resources

Table 1 describes the Roles, Responsibilities and Resource Name for the
testing of the Project “Cluster Management System”.

iv. Test Strategies/Techniques

This section of the document describes – (1) Test design and (2) Test Data
for the project “ Cluster Management System”.

1. Test Design
Considering the scope of the project and the time limitations, we will be
performing following tests.
a) Unit Test –
This test verifies the program logic and is based on the
knowledge of the program structure.
b) Integration Test –
This test verifies the entire system’s functionality according
to the design specification.
c) Business Requirements –
This test verifies whether specific requirements of
the customer are met.
d) Acceptance Testing –
This test verifies whether the system needs to meet
the initial objectives and customer’s expectations.

For performing the above mentioned tests, we will create test cases as
shown in table 2.

Use Case ID Description Test Case

UC-1 Use Case Login TC-1
UC-2 Use Case Update Profile TC-2
UC-3 Use Case Reboot TC-3
UC-4 Use Case Adding or delete a user TC-4
UC-5 Use Case Adding or Deleting node TC-5
UC-6 Use Case Power up TC-6

vi. Defect Responsibility/Resolution

Possible defects identified through manual testing will be discussed with

development team members to verify that the observed behavior constitutes a
defect. Defects found will be tried to be resolved. If not possible, they will be
delivered with the deliverables as “Known Bugs”. Defect register will be
maintained to keep a track of all the defects found in the software.

vii. Exit Criteria

Testing can proceed to the next stage of the process when a sufficient
proportion of the current stage has been completed All exit criteria should be
satisfied by the end of the project.
