The preferable test documentation using IEEE 829

Abstract

During software development, testing is one of the processes to find errors and aimed at evaluating a program meets its required results. In testing phase there are several testing activity involve user acceptance test, test procedure and others. If there is no documentation involve in testing the phase the difficulty happen during test with no solution. It because no reference they can refer to overcome the same problem. IEEE 829 is one of the standard to conformance the address requirements. In this standard has several documentation provided during testing including during preparing test, running the test and completion test. In this paper we used this standard as guideline to analyze which documentation our companies prefer the most. From our analytical study, most company in Malaysia they prepare document for Test Plan and Test Summary. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
