1. Overview

This is the final exercise for the quarter, intended to be a cap-stone that pulls together the disparate topics we have discussed over the past eight weeks.

Your task is to develop a test plan for the Budget program that we have already analyzed from various points of view.

2. Instructions

The test plan itself should address the following issues, as appropriate to your target environment:

The test plan should include:

  1. Milestones.
  2. Entry criteria for each milestone's phase.
  3. Tasks to be performed during each phase.
  4. Deliverables or exit criteria for each Milestone.

3. Deliverables

Submit your plan as a formatted document in 12pt type, stapled in the upper left hand corner with a single sturdy staple.

Provide a separate section for each part described above. Identify the plan sub-parts clearly for each major and minor milestone.

Include a cover page with the document title, your name and student ID.

Read the general requirements on the class home page. In particular, be sure to spell-check and proofread before submission.

The final document is due at the beginning of class on November 26.
