General information
The Master Test Plan for the Tukko project, spearheaded by Team Cven, presents the methodology, objectives, and timeline for the testing phase. TESTribe, in collaboration with Team Cven, will oversee these activities, leveraging both GitLab and the Open Project Framework for organizing test materials. A variety of testing methodologies will be used to guarantee thorough coverage, including WAVE, Selenium, Robot Framework, Playwright, as well as manual and exploratory testing techniques.
About Test Planning
The Master Test Plan, developed by Team Cven for the Tukko project, outlines the strategy, tools, and procedures for testing activities aimed at ensuring the software meets its requirements and functions as expected across various environments. The project, under Team Cven's guidance, focuses on [specific domain, e.g., "managing and visualizing core traffic data in real-time"], leveraging advanced technologies for insights and user experiences.
About the Test Target / System Under Test
Under Team Cven's direction, the Tukko project is focused on creating a system that is both robust and reliable, encompassing a variety of features and functionalities crucial to the system's overall performance and requiring comprehensive testing to confirm their correct function.
Test Goals and Primary Needs
The overarching objectives of the testing process encompass ensuring the system's functionality, performance, security, and accessibility. It's aimed at detecting and remedying any flaws, usability concerns, and performance issues. Moreover, this process is designed to affirm that the system adheres to predefined requirements and meets user expectations, guaranteeing a comprehensive evaluation of the system's readiness and reliability before its deployment.
Schedule
Testing operations will proceed as outlined in the project's overall strategy. For specifics on timing and organization, please see the project's detailed schedule. This ensures that all testing efforts are systematically coordinated with the project's broader timelines and objectives.
Release Plan
The test procedures for the Tukko project are designed to match the project's release strategy. For a detailed understanding of how testing timelines and objectives align with the project's delivery phases, please refer to the detailed release plan documentation. This approach ensures that testing is fully integrated with the project's release milestones, supporting a streamlined and effective rollout of the system. (link here)
Test Cases
Team Cven employs a detailed template for Tukko's test documentation, fostering a consistent, traceable, and collaborative approach, vital for thorough quality assurance. The structure includes:
- Test Case ID: Employs a unique coding system to distinguish each test.
- Author: Records the test creator's name for accountability and reference.
- Date of creation: Marks the inception date of the test case for tracking progress and revisions.
- Class: Classifies the test to reflect its primary focus, such as functional, non-functional, or acceptance testing.
- Type: Labels the test to indicate its specific purpose, such as compliance, correction, evolution, regression, and more.
- Test Description/Objective: Offers a concise purpose statement of what the test aims to accomplish.
- Links to requirements or other sources: Provides direct connections to the related requirements, bolstering traceability and context.
- Test Pre-state: Describes the required state of the system before testing can commence.
- Test steps: Lists in sequence the actions to be performed and the anticipated results, providing a clear execution pathway.
- To be taken into account during the test: Highlights any special instructions or considerations that may impact the test.
- PASS/FAIL Criteria: Defines the benchmarks for determining the success or failure of the test case, ensuring objective assessment.
This methodology streamlines the testing process, fostering a consistent, traceable, and collaborative approach, which is vital for thorough quality assurance and contributes to the efficiency and effectiveness of the project's testing phase.
Test Results
The testing outcomes are captured through a structured documentation process:
- Test Report Details: Records the iteration, date, and features tested.
- Test Objectives: Outlines the aims of each test category.
- Test Execution Details: Notes the specific tests or suites run and their sources.
- Test Cases: - Test Case ID - Description - Status - Notes
- Summary: Presents a tally of all test cases and their statuses.
- Observations and Notes: Collates any pertinent observations from the testing.
- Recommendations: Offers suggestions for potential improvements.
- Next Steps: Enumerates the forthcoming actions in the test plan.
This systematic documentation ensures a consistent, clear, and comprehensive record of the testing process, aiding in analysis, decision-making, and future testing strategies.
Testing Environment
The testing process will be carried out across multiple testing scenarios to guarantee thorough evaluation and compatibility.

Testing Levels
The testing procedure will span multiple levels to ensure thorough examination and pinpoint issues at various phases.
Acceptance Testing
This stage will ensure the system adheres to the predefined requirements and is set for launch.
System Testing
Here, the focus is on evaluating the system in its entirety, covering integration, functionality, and efficiency.
System Integration Testing
This phase checks the cohesiveness and interaction among the different components/modules of the system.
Module / Component Testing
Testing at this level aims to verify the functionality of individual modules or components within the system.
Testing and Troubleshooting Methodologies
The testing methodology will adopt a systematic approach, encompassing test planning, designing test cases, executing tests, tracking defects, and reporting. All detected issues or flaws will be systematically documented and monitored until they are resolved.
Selected Testing Strategy
The strategy will blend automated and manual testing methods. Automation will be employed for recurring and regression tests, whereas manual and exploratory testing will assess the system's usability and end-user experience.
Testing Tools and Software
Functional Testing:
- Use of GitLab / Open Project Framework for organizing test documentation.
- Selenium will facilitate web application testing.
- Robot Framework will support test automation efforts.
Performance Testing:
- The WAVE tool will be utilized for accessibility assessments.
- Playwright will aid in cross-browser testing scenarios.
Security Testing:
- Security assessments will include manual testing techniques.
- Penetration testing will be conducted to uncover potential vulnerabilities.
Availability Testing:
- Load testing tools will evaluate the system's performance under substantial load conditions, ensuring reliability and stability during peak usage times.
This multifaceted testing framework is designed to rigorously assess various aspects of the system, from individual components to the overall system performance, ensuring a robust and reliable software solution.
