Updating test plan for agile driven software : a case Study

The goals of the thesis were to analyse the current software testing process of a company and to produce a Modular Test Plan on the basis of a survey and a case study of the company. The theoretical part focuses on the detailed study of the current test plan in the company. Similarly, it also presents and analyses agile testing methodologies by studying relevant literature. The practical part, however, identifies the challenges faced by the company during the testing process from the developers’ point of view and provides an updated test plan for the company. To achieve this, an online survey was distributed amongst the development team of the company to validate their agile development process. The survey results indicated that the company does not strictly follow agile testing methodologies for the smaller projects. Moreover, the projects have an insufficient number of testers for quality testing. Similarly, the test process followed is outdated since test automation tools are not being used. Also, the documentation is weak, and the interaction with customers is not sufficient. The result of this thesis was a new and updated modular test plan that eliminates the above-identified issues and will be used for the next few years. However, in the future, further extensive research needs to be conducted, and a new test plan should be formulated according to the company’s status at that moment
