Introduction

This document outlines the System Test Plan for designing an automated testing system using MAD AI's cAItalyst AI-as-a-Service product. The purpose is to provide a structured approach for testing the system that allows clients to feed test cases into the front end and have cAItalyst run all the test cases autonomously.

Objectives

The primary objective of the system testing is to validate that the automated testing system:

  • Allows clients to feed test cases through the front end.
  • Ensures that cAItalyst can autonomously execute the fed test cases.
  • Accurately reports the results of the test cases.
  • Meets all functional and non-functional requirements.

Scope

The scope of the system testing includes:

  • Front-end interface for clients to input test cases.
  • Integration with cAItalyst AI to run the test cases.
  • Reporting mechanisms for test results.
  • Performance, security, and usability testing of the system.

Test Strategy

The overall test strategy will include:

  • Functional Testing: To verify that all functionalities work as expected.
  • Integration Testing: To ensure seamless integration between the front end and cAItalyst.
  • Performance Testing: To assess the system's performance under various conditions.
  • Security Testing: To identify and mitigate security vulnerabilities.
  • Usability Testing: To evaluate the user experience of the front end.

Test Plan

Test Environment

The testing environment will include:

  • Hardware: Servers and workstations for hosting and accessing the system.
  • Software: cAItalyst AI, web browsers, and any supporting software.
  • Network Configurations: Required network settings to ensure connectivity between the front end and cAItalyst.

Test Criteria

  • Entry Criteria:
      - Test environment setup is complete.
      - Test cases and test data are prepared and reviewed.
      - All necessary resources are allocated.
  • Exit Criteria:
      - All planned test cases are executed.
      - All identified defects are resolved or documented.
      - Test summary report is prepared and reviewed.

Test Deliverables

  • Test Cases
  • Test Scripts
  • Test Data
  • Test Reports
  • Defect Logs

Test Schedule

  • Test Planning: 01/15/2025 - 01/20/2025
  • Test Case Development: 01/21/2025 - 01/30/2025
  • Test Execution: 02/01/2025 - 02/20/2025
  • Defect Resolution: 02/21/2025 - 03/05/2025
  • Test Closure: 03/06/2025 - 03/10/2025

Resources

  • Personnel: Test Manager, Test Lead, Test Engineers, Developers, Business Analyst.
  • Tools: Test management tools, defect tracking tools, performance testing tools.

Roles and Responsibilities

Role Responsibility
Test Manager Oversee the testing process, manage resources, and ensure adherence to the test plan
Test Lead Coordinate testing activities and manage the test team
Test Engineer Design and execute test cases, report defects
Developer Fix defects and provide technical support
Business Analyst Ensure test cases align with business requirements

Defect Management

Defects will be managed through a defect tracking tool. The process includes:

  • Logging defects with detailed information.
  • Prioritizing and assigning defects to developers.
  • Tracking the status of defect resolution.
  • Retesting resolved defects.

Risk Management

Potential risks and mitigation strategies:

  • Integration Issues: Ensure thorough integration testing and have a rollback plan.
  • Performance Bottlenecks: Conduct performance testing early and optimize code.
  • Security Vulnerabilities: Perform regular security assessments and apply patches.
