1. Unit Test Process Authors:Sergey Fedorov, Dmitry Balkin, Dmitry Korenkov June 2005

2. 2 Definition and Scope of Unit Testing Unit Test Process (UTP) describes the usage of unit testing at the stage of component design and coding. UTP focused on test –Preparation, –Execution and –Follow-up activities UTP guards the correctness of the source code frozen as: –General –Restricted –Hot-fix “… unit test is a method of testing the correctness of a particular module of source code. The idea is to write test cases for every non-trivial function or method in the module so that each test case is separate from the others if possible.” (Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_test)

3. 3 Reason for Unit Test Process  What are we trying to fix? –Process/procedure needs to be clearly understood Procedure is not clearly defined –UT reports are not produced consistently Output is not standard  What CMM KPA justify the change? –Level 3 Software Product Engineering

4. 4 Unit Test Process Actors  Development Manager  Developer  QA Manager  QA Engineer  Project Manager  WIS - Business Applications

5. 5 UTP Timeline Gate 0+ Gate 1Gate 2Gate 3 Preparation Execution Content Freeze Note: presented timelines are just recommendations and in each case Development Manager will set up the exact schedule depending on project specifics. Internal Freeze Unit Test Results Correction Freeze 1 Correction Freeze 2 Correction Freeze 3 Follow-up: Provide Unit Test Results to QA Unit Test Report Development Start

6. 6 Process Overview Unit Testing is the part of Development, it consists of three activities:  Preparation resulted to  Execution resulted to  Follow-up Coordinated by Freezes Development coordination Freeze type Internal Project coordination Freeze type General, Restricted Content and Correction freeze in IPP Validated at Gate 2, finalized at Gate 3 Release coordination Freeze type Hot-fix, Restricted, General Hot-fix, Pre-release, CD-Refresh Follow-up Preparation Execution Freeze UT Results UT Report Development Start

7. 7 UTP Preparation Activity Input: Siebel ERs Development documents, design, specs Source Code Output: T est cases Owner/Actor: Development Manager, Developer Development Manager: Coordinating preparation activity among development team members Developer: Develops test case, Updates development environment Documenting test case, updating ER in Siebel

8. 8 UTP Execution Activity Input: Test Case, Development Environment, Component Module(s) Output: test case results for given input combination Owner/Actor: Development Manager, Developer Actions to perform: Development Manager: Coordinating execution activity among development team members Developer: Executing test case, Adjusting development environment Documenting test case results, updating ER in Siebel

9. 9 UTP Follow-up Activity Input : Test case results Output: Freeze form  For project coordination: Unit Test Info field in Freeze form provides environment information XING Unit Test report generated and published/updated in DL Unit Test Results documents published/updated in DL or Frozen ERs updated with test cases information in Siebel  For release coordination: Unit Test Info field in Freeze form provides environment information Frozen ERs updated with test cases information in Siebel Owner/Actor: Development Manager, Developer Actions performed: Development Manager: Generates and publishes unit test reports, Consolidates and publishes unit test results Developer: Issues freeze form, updates Unit Test Info in a freeze form with Environment information

10. 10 Documenting of Unit Test Cases Option 1: Unit Test Results document Using generic Test Case form, see "Unit Test Guidelines" or Table/text format, agreed by development team Mandatory fields/paragraphs are: –ER number –Test Case number (unique in document scope) –Input description and –Expected output description Option 2: ER updates in Siebel (recommended) Using Test Instructions or Specific tags, agreed by development team Mandatory fields are –Test Case Number (unique in ER scope) –Input description and –Expected output description

11. 11 Generation of Unit Test Report 1.Navigate to XING/Reports/Unit Test 2.Type text and search for components 3.Select component 4.Select Family and Freeze type 5.Generate report Note: XING generated Unit Test Report includes link to Siebel ERs that allows interactive access to ER- level information directly from report (test case documenting Option 2).

12. 12 Standard Unit Test Report Unit Test Report should be published in DL project repository, Unit Test sub-folder. Publish button may not work, in this case please save generated report and publish it through standard publishing interface of DL. Report Structure: Link to Freeze form Freeze type Unit Test Info From freeze form Link to Siebel ER ER Status/Sub- status Short Description

13. UTP Roles and Responsibilities  Development Manager: c oordinating unit test preparation and execution activities in development team, generates and publishes unit test reports, consolidates and publishes unit test results  Developer: developing, executing and documenting test cases, updating and adjusting development environment, updating ERs in Siebel, issues freeze forms, updates Unit Test Info in a freeze form with Environment information
