The
SR IDrefers to the unique identifier of the software requirement that this test is designed to validate.It’s important to note that this document isn’t technically a “plan” since it includes test results (the “Actual” and “Pass?” columns). To maintain clarity, consider separating this table into a “test plan” and a “test protocol” (a recommendation from a helpful auditor). The test plan should include all columns except “Actual” and “Pass?”. The test protocol, on the other hand, should contain all columns. The rationale is straightforward: it’s best to finalize the plan before conducting the tests to avoid making changes during test execution if issues are found. The plan should be completed and reviewed first, and then copied into the protocol to record the test results post-execution.
