General information

A master test plan (MTP) is a high-level document that describes the overall testing strategy, objectives, and scope for a software project or product. It provides a comprehensive overview of the key decisions, resources, risks, and deliverables involved in the testing process. It also defines the relationship and coordination among different test levels, such as unit testing, integration testing, system testing, and acceptance testing. An MTP helps to ensure that the testing activities are aligned with the project goals and requirements, and that the quality of the software is verified and validated. You can find more information about MTPs from these sources:

Master Test Plan

1. Introduction

The purpose of this document is to outline the testing strategy, objectives, and scope for the PrestaShop e-commerce project. This plan will guide the testing activities to ensure the quality and functionality of the PrestaShop implementation.

2. Test Objectives

  • Verify that the PrestaShop e-commerce platform functions as expected.
  • Ensure that all features work correctly and meet the specified requirements.
  • Identify and fix any defects or issues before the final deployment.

3. Test Items

  • PrestaShop e-commerce platform
  • Custom modules and extensions
  • User interface and user experience

4. Features to be Tested

  • User registration and login
  • Product browsing and search functionality
  • Shopping cart and checkout process
  • Payment processing
  • Order management
  • Password reset functionality

5. Features not to be Tested

  • Third-party integrations not related to payment gateways: These integrations are outside the scope of this project and will be tested separately by their respective teams.
  • Performance under extreme load conditions: Performance testing under extreme load conditions is not included in this phase due to resource constraints. This will be addressed in a future phase if necessary.

6. Approach

  • Unit Testing: Verify individual components and functions.
  • Integration Testing: Ensure that different modules work together.
  • System Testing: Test the entire system for overall functionality.
  • Acceptance Testing: Validate the system against user requirements.

7. Item Pass/Fail Criteria

  • A test item passes if it meets all the specified requirements and functions correctly without any critical defects.
  • A test item fails if it does not meet the requirements or has critical defects that impact functionality.

8. Suspension Criteria and Resumption Requirements

  • Testing will be suspended if critical defects are found that prevent further testing.
  • Testing will resume once the defects are fixed and verified.

9. Test Deliverables

  • Test cases and scripts

10. Testing Tasks

  • Develop test cases and scripts
  • Execute test cases
  • Log and track defects
  • Retest fixed defects
  • Prepare test reports

11. Environmental Needs

  • Test environment with PrestaShop installed
  • Access to necessary hardware and software
  • Network connectivity

12. Responsibilities

Testings are done by Vesa Löytölä - Develop and execute test cases - Log defects and track their resolution - Prepare test reports - Oversee the entire testing process

13. Staffing and Training Needs

  • Ensure that you are familiar with PrestaShop and the testing tools.
  • Additional training on test automation using tools like Robot Framework.

14. Schedule

  • Test Planning: [4.2.2025] - [15.2.2025]
  • Test Case Development: [18.2.2025] - [14.3.2025]
  • Test Execution: [18.3.2025] - [28.3.2025]
  • Defect Fixing and Retesting: [4.4.2025] - [11.4.2025]
  • Final Reporting: [15.4.2025] - [21.4.2025]

15. Risks and Contingencies

  • Risk: Delays in defect fixing. Contingency: Allocate buffer time in the schedule.
  • Risk: Incomplete test coverage. Contingency: Prioritize critical test cases.

16. Approvals

  • The Master Test Plan must be approved by the Project Manager and the Test Manager before testing can begin.
