Katseplaan

Katseplaan is an Estonian term that translates to "test plan" in English. It refers to a document or a set of documents that outline the strategy and details for testing a product, system, or software. The primary purpose of a katseplaan is to ensure that the testing process is systematic, comprehensive, and effective in identifying defects and verifying that the product meets its requirements.

A typical katseplaan includes information such as the objectives of the testing, the scope of what will be tested and what will not, the features to be tested, the testing approach or methodology to be employed, the resources required, including personnel and tools, and the testing schedule. It also often details the testing environment, entry and exit criteria for testing phases, and the types of testing to be performed, such as functional testing, performance testing, security testing, and usability testing.

The creation of a katseplaan is a crucial part of the software development lifecycle and quality assurance process. It helps to align the testing efforts with project goals, manage risks, and communicate the testing strategy to all stakeholders. A well-defined katseplaan facilitates efficient test execution, provides a basis for tracking progress, and serves as a record of the testing activities performed. In essence, it acts as a roadmap for the entire testing endeavor.
