<h3 id="user-content-introduction" dir="auto">Introduction</h3>
<h4 id="user-content-why-is-this-qa-plan-needed" dir="auto">Why is this QA plan needed?</h4>
<p dir="auto">::"Quality" refers to all the good things that we would like to see in
our product. We build a quality product and assure its quality by
keeping quality in mind all the time and performing the selected
activities below. Testing is one QA activity, but it is not the best
or only one, other QA activities include the use of style guides and
checklists, review meetings, use of analysis tools, and careful
quality measurements and estimates. A plan is needed to select and
coordinate all the QA activities.</p>
<h4 id="user-content-what-qa-lessons-were-learned-in-previous-releases" dir="auto">What QA lessons were learned in previous releases?</h4>
<p dir="auto">::None yet. This is the first release.</p>
<ul dir="auto">
<li>::Different browsers render the same HTML page differently, so we
must test each version of each supported browser.</li>
<li>::In a previous release, customers found that punctuation (e.g.,
quotation marks and less-than signs) were entered and processed
properly, but not displayed properly. From now on, we must test
both validation and display of special characters.</li>
<li>::Large datasets can sometimes make our system fail if the space
used for temporary data is used up. Our test plans should
include more data volume tests.</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="user-content-what-is-the-scope-of-this-qa-plan" dir="auto">What is the scope of this QA plan?</h4>
<p dir="auto">::All components and aspects of the system will be evaluated in
this release.</p>
<p dir="auto">::There are many quality goals and approaches to assuring them. Since
we have limited time and resources for this release, we will focus
on the following components and aspects:</p>
<ul dir="auto">
<li>::COMPONENT-1</li>
<li>::COMPONENT-2</li>
<li>::COMPONENT-3</li>
<li>::FEATURE-1</li>
<li>::FEATURE-2</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="user-content-what-is-the-summary-of-this-plan" dir="auto">What is the summary of this plan?</h4>
<p dir="auto">::In this release we will continue to use development practices that
support all of our quality goals, but we will focus on functional
correctness and robustness. We will do that with the following major
activities:</p>
<ul dir="auto">
<li>::using if-statements to test preconditions and assert statements
to test invariants and postconditions</li>
<li>::conducting frequent reviews</li>
<li>::performing automated unit and regression testing with JUnit</li>
<li>::carrying out structured manual system testing</li>
<li>::keeping all issues up-to-date in an issue tracking database</li>
