Evaluating Exit Criteria and Reporting
Test execution is assessed against the objectives defined in Test Planning
Common Points that are mostly present in exit criteria
All critical, high and medium priority test cases are executed.
No blocker, critical or high priority defects are outstanding.
All medium and low priority defects are triaged and agreed to be differed or fixed.
Agreed fixes for medium and low priority defects completed and retested.
All the test documentation like test plan, test cases are documented and up to date in the test management tool.
This test process should done in each Test Level
by a group of test activities that are organized and managed together
3 MAJOR TASK
1. Check test logs against the exit criteria specified in Test Planning
For example, checking the test execution progress for all the critical, major and medium test cases.
Checking the status of all outstanding defects and how many needs to be fixed and retested to fulfill the exit criteria.
If the exit criteria has not been met
Assess if more tests are needed
Assess which test activities may need to be repeated
Add more tests for execution to lower the quality risks specified in the the exit criteria.
Modify the exit criteria with agreement from stakeholders if it had very strict criteria set
2. Assess if the exit criteria specified should be changed
3. Produce a test summary report for stakeholder's review
Development team
,
Test Team
and
Stakeholder
need to know the outcome of evaluating the exit criteria and what happened in testing levels so that they can make decisions about the software.
For example, is it good to start the next testing level or if all the test levels have completed can the software go live in production.
Exit criteria is set of agreed conditions with stakeholders
Assess the test execution against the defined and agreed exit criteria for a particular test level.
Based on this evaluation we can decide if we have actually done enough testing for that level to mark it officially complete
Exit criteria should be set for each test level
