Introduction

The purpose of this document is to outline the System Test Plan for Project Genesis, which aims to solve the problem of follow-up emails that are personalized rather than canned or templated. This document provides a detailed overview of the testing process, including objectives, scope, strategy, schedule, resources, and communication plan.

Objectives

The objective of the system testing is to ensure that the follow-up emails generated by Project Genesis meet the specified requirements:

  • Know the recipient's name and contact info.
  • Know what the recipient's company does.
  • Know any prior interactions with the company.
  • Use a consultative approach to the sales process.

Scope

The scope of the system testing includes testing the functionality, performance, and security of the email generation system to ensure it meets the specified requirements. This includes:

  • Accurate retrieval of the recipient's name and contact information.
  • Accurate identification of what the recipient's company does.
  • Accurate logging and usage of prior interactions with the recipient's company.
  • Implementation of a consultative approach in the sales process.

Test Strategy

The overall test strategy includes the following types of testing:

  • Functional Testing: To ensure the system meets the specified requirements.
  • Performance Testing: To ensure the system performs efficiently under load.
  • Security Testing: To ensure data privacy and security are maintained.

Test Plan
