Project Name Test Plan
7.0 Recommendations/Suggestions
[Make here any recommendations that can improve or streamline the test requirements.
For instance if the project only has intentions to undertake a volume and performance
test, they might also want to include a stress and soak test. Show the rationale and value
of the recommended steps.
Example: I worked as a consultant for a company that wanted to emulate only 2000 end
users because that was the expected total population of end users in production. However
load tests are hardly an exact science and does contain a relative margin of error, so to
compensate for any potential margin of errors in the test results I recommended that 20%
more end users be emulated.
If you have any experiences or insights from previous projects that might help your
current project document them here.]
8.0 Load test preparation checklist
[Before initiating full-coverage load tests with a maximum load of users it is highly
desirable that the load testing preparation checklist below be examined and verified]
Checklist
Criteria
Pass
Fail
N/A
Log-on users id from user not participating in the
load tests have been deactivated
Processes not affecting the outcome of the load test
have been disabled (i.e. print jobs, etc)
Network topology diagram has been reviewed and
analyzed
Data caching will be prevented with unique data
records or by refreshing the Database
2 Trail test have been successfully executed with
loads representing 33% of the expected peak
production loads
Contingency and risk plans are in place if problems
arise during the test execution phase
Dummy user ids for the emulated end users with
appropriate access levels have been created
All monitoring tools and monitoring resources have
been scheduled
All areas that need to be monitored during the test
