i.e.,
in the planning stage, we decide which feature to test and which not to test
due to the limited time available for the project.
a) “HELP” is a feature developed and
written by a technical writer and reviewed by another technical writer. So,
we’ll not test this feature.
b) Let us consider that an
application with features A, B, C and D are to be developed as per
requirements. But then, D has already been developed and is in use by another
company. So, the development team will purchase D from that company and
integrate with the other features A, B and C. Now, we will not do functional
testing on D because D is already in use in the market. But we will do
integration testing and system testing between A, B, C and D because the new
features may not work with D properly.
c) In the 1st release of the
product – features that have been developed are – a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, … m,
n, o.
Now,
the customer gives requirements of new features to be built for enhancement of the product during the 2nd release. The features to be developed are
– p, q, r, s, t.
During
test plan, we write scope,
Scope
Features to be
tested
P,
Q, R, S, T (new features)
A,
B, C, D, E, F
Features not to be
tested
G,
H, I, J… N, O
Thus we first test new
features and then test old features which might be affected by building the new
features i.e, impact areas. We do regression testing for A, B, C, …, F.
