Testing strategy

THIS DOCUMENT AND IT'S SUB PAGES ARE CURRENTLY UNDER DEVELOPMENT AND IS THEREFORE INCOMPLETE. SOME CONTENT HAS YET TO BE UPLOADED OR INCLUDED AND CHANGES TO THE EXISTING CONTENT ARE PLANNED.

Introduction

Purpose

The purpose of this document is to define a high level QA strategy at Moodle and communicate that process to the relevant stakeholders. This document is loosely based upon the IEEE829 standard for software testing documentation; adaptations have been made to this standard to make the document more lightweight, suitable for use in an agile process and relevant to the organisation.

This document is test centric, only explaining the development process from a testing point of view. The scope of this document does not cover the details of the entire development process at Moodle but how testing is applied to it. This document also discusses potential benefits to the organisation of the processes discussed.
