TestForge

Process

The process guide

TestForge follows one fixed workflow: from test goal to approval. Skip only what does not apply. Testers know what to do; managers see what was proven.

  1. 1 Goal Software or procedure test. What must this round prove?
  2. 2 Requirements Rules that must hold, for example “a user can sign in”.
  3. 3 Risks What can go wrong, and how severe that is.
  4. 4 Cases Concrete checks with steps and expected result, in a scenario.
  5. 5 Run Execute under a milestone. Each case gets a result.
  6. 6 Issues On failure: log, fix, re-test until closed.
  7. 7 Report What, how, when, results and release advice for the manager.

Step by step in the application

  1. 1
    Define the test goal

    Write what this round must prove.

  2. 2
    Create a test project

    One project = one application, release or procedure.

  3. 3
    Define scenarios

    One scenario per topic, for example Sign-in.

  4. 4
    Create test cases

    Preconditions, steps and expected result.

  5. 5
    Execute the test

    Start a run, optionally under a milestone.

  6. 6
    Record the result

    Passed, failed, blocked or skipped.

  7. 7
    Log defects

    On failure: create an issue, TOPdesk if needed.

  8. 8
    Re-test

    After a fix, run the same cases again.

  9. 9
    Review the results

    Check totals on the report.

  10. 10
    Report and approval

    Share and give a release recommendation.

  11. 11
    Test completed

    Done when the important cases have been reviewed.
