1. IEEE Standard for Software Test Documentation IEEE Std 829-1998

2. Abstract ”A set of basic software test documents is described. This standard specifies the form and content of individual documents. It does not specify the required set of test documents.”

3. Contents The standard describes templates for: test case specification test design specification test incident report test item transmittal report test log test plan test procedure specification test summary report

4. Usage in FROST We have used the following templates Test plan Test case specification Test summary report Test log Test incident report

5. Benefits Something to base your thinking for an inexperienced testing team Well written example uses of the templates

6. Downsides Not so easy to digest, required many readthroughs to find out for what a particular document is really used Too many documents, we had to modify and merge some of them

7. Conclusions Some difficulties were met adapting the document but it turned out to be beneficial For example putting the reporting in three distinct documents helped to analyze the results
