AutoQuest A Test Case Management System (P-0466) (MFN 946)

Abstract

The report discusses all relevant details pertaining to AutoQuest - a Software Test Case Management System (TCMS). The goal of TCMS is to implement a test management system, which can be integrated with any software testing tool and can also be used independently. This TCMS allows storage of information relevant to project, project requirements, test cases and bug tracking including the details of interacting individuals. This report discusses the various phases of development of the project, including the analysis and the design phase. The report contains the project statement, description, aim, scope and limitations. The report starts with an overview of software testing process and the importance and types of automated software testing. It provides an introduction to the project and the underlying issues and discrepancies involved in unkempt software testing procedures. The report explains the major components of the TCMS, which is a test case management system with a database at the backend, facilitating the maintenance of test cases, bugs and other project information. The report also describes the inputs and outputs ofthe TCMS and the technologies being employed for its development. · The report also contains the design of the TCMS database. It describes the data types, the constraints, properties and relationships of different tables and fields. A brief overview of the interaction of the users with the system is also given in the report showing some typical user actions with the help of screen shots of the system, which helps in understanding the functionality as well as the navigation of the system. The software test plan designed to prescribe the scope and approach of our testing activities is also discussed towards the end of the report.
