Test Plan Driver Method
The Test Plan Samples
(Continued from previous question...)
Test Plan Driver Method
The "Test Plan Driver" method preserves most of the advantages of the "Function Decomposition" method,
while eliminating most of the disadvantages. In this method, the entire testing process is
data-driven including functionality. The detail Test Plan is written in a specific format,
then saved in a particular record-format which the pre-written "Utility" scripts use to control
the entire processing of the Automated Test.
Example:
This example shows a Test case document developed by the tester using a spreadsheet containing
"Key-Words" in Column 1. In this method, the entire process is data-driven, including functionality.
The Key Word control the processing. Note that this test case could also be executed manually if necessary.
