Test Plans and Schedules
- Samir Shah (Deactivated)
The Test Plan blueprint allows team members to create well formatted software quality documents that can be standardized across releases and projects. Key sections of this blueprint are Test Plans, Tracking Requirements and Test Schedules. The blueprint allows the user to pick which of these three sections they want to add to their document and the appropriately formatted document is ready for their content.
IMPORTANT
If you would like to track Test Schedules, please ensure that "Confluence Team Calendars" has been installed on this instance of Confluence.
To start using this blueprint, first click on the main "Create" button:
In the resulting dialog, select "Zephyr Blueprints" and click "Next".
Three templates are shown. Pick the second one titled "Plan and manage your testing" and click "Next".
This wizard now allows you to customize a few aspects of your dashboard before you start editing it with your own content. Enter the title of the page. This information can be changed later if you want to. You can also selectively pick which (or all) or the test sections you want to include in your document. Choose wisely as these cannot be added later (or at least not easily - you'll have to copy-n-paste and reformat them yourself). Click "Next".
Now click "Next" and a well formatted page with the relevant sections and placeholders is ready for content writing.
Things to note:
- For Requirements tracking/viewing, if your requirements are being tracked in JIRA, use the "JIRA Issue" macro to query and display the list of requirements that are relevant to this project and release.
- For the Test Plan section, note that all sub-sections might not be relevant to your world. Pick and choose (or even modify) what is there and delete the ones that you do not need.
- For the Test Schedules section, do note that you need "Confluence Team Calendars" in order to use that section.
Here's an example of what a Test Plan page could look like:
