Introduction

The purpose of this document is to outline the System Test Plan for the Dog Walking App project, which aims to provide an Uber-like experience for booking local dog walkers and reviewing them. This document will detail the testing strategy, plan, schedule, resources, and criteria to ensure the application meets the defined requirements and functions as expected.

Objectives

The primary objective of the system testing is to verify that the Dog Walking App meets the specified requirements for allowing users to review dog walkers in their area and book their time. This includes ensuring the app's functionality, performance, security, and user experience are up to standard.

Scope

The scope of this testing includes:

• User registration and authentication
• Browsing available dog walkers in the user's local area
• Reviewing dog walker profiles
• Booking a dog walker's time
• Payment processing
• User reviews and ratings for dog walkers

Test Strategy

The overall test strategy will include the following types of testing:

• Functional Testing: To verify that all functionalities work as expected.
• Usability Testing: To ensure the app is user-friendly and intuitive.
• Performance Testing: To assess the app's performance under various conditions.
• Security Testing: To ensure the app is secure from vulnerabilities.
• Compatibility Testing: To verify the app works on different devices and operating systems.

Test Plan

Test Environment

The test environment will include:

• Hardware: Various smartphones and tablets.
• Software: Different versions of iOS and Android operating systems.
• Network: Simulated environments for different network conditions (WiFi, 4G, etc.).
• Other Components: Back-end servers, databases, and payment gateways.

Test Criteria

• Entry Criteria:

  • All development tasks are completed.
  • All necessary test data is prepared.
  • Test environment is set up and ready.

• Exit Criteria:

  • All test cases have been executed.
  • All critical and high priority defects are resolved.
  • Test summary report is prepared and reviewed.

Test Deliverables

The deliverables for the testing process include:

• Test cases
• Test scripts
• Test data
• Test execution reports
• Defect logs
• Test summary report

Resources

The following resources are required for testing:

• Test Manager
• Test Lead
• Test Engineers
• Developers
• Business Analyst
• Testing Tools (e.g., Selenium, JIRA)

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 the following process:

• Defects will be recorded in a defect tracking tool (e.g., JIRA).
• Each defect will be assigned a priority and severity level.
• Defects will be tracked from discovery to resolution.
• Regular defect review meetings will be held to monitor progress.

Risk Management

Potential risks and mitigation strategies include:

• Risk: Delays in development completion.
  • Mitigation: Regular status meetings to monitor progress.
• Risk: Inadequate test environment.
  • Mitigation: Early setup and validation of the test environment.
• Risk: High defect density.
  • Mitigation: Thorough unit testing and code reviews before system testing.
