Planning a Testing Strategy
This chapter introduces Phase I of the Testing Methodology, Planning.
This chapter provides information to help you formulate a testing strategy,
and offers guidelines for determining which tests to automate. This section
also examines the basic structure of a testplan and describes how to create a
testplan using SilkTest's testplan editor.
Borland highly recommends that in order to gain more leverage in your
testing effort, you utilize SilkTest's planning tool, the testplan editor.
Creating a testplan, however, is not required. If you chose not to create a
testplan for your own testing you may begin with capturing a test frame,
described in
Chapter 4, "Capturing Your Application"
. For this tutorial you
will be creating a testplan.
