Review of test planning?

Test planning starts in the phase of defining the different features. Thinking about the necessary tests in advance is an important part of the development work and partly steers the implementation in the right direction. With the help of tests, we check whether the implementation meets the required requirements. Roughly speaking, the responsibility of the tester and the developer is to jointly think about the necessary tests and sufficient test coverage. It is good to link the test descriptions to the implementation, for example, as a link to User Story-issue. Where the different test cases are practically documented depends entirely on the operating environment. In the Fall 2021 Future Factory implementation, the storage location is by default in the Testlink service. An alternative is to record them in the Acceptance Criteria section.

In the initial phase of test planning, we consider what needs to be tested and how to perform the test manually. Due to the development of different software production tools, it is possible to transfer the execution of tests to so-called on automation tools (e.g. Robot Framework, Playwright, Test Cafe, Cypress etc.). These different automation tools do not eliminate the need to initially define what the test should be like.
