Create a Course Test Plan
- Due No due date
- Points None
Why not see the course as yet another development project?
If you do, then one of the first things you would create is a test plan Links to an external site.. Translating the linked template (there are many other testing templates, just so you know) into something usable for your learning on a course, you get something like:
- Test Items These are the assignments you are expected to submit for marking.
- Features to be Tested These are the user stories at the beginning of every module. Describe each of these features in terms of the object oriented modelling concepts or software development concepts that you need to master before you can satisfy the user story.
- Approach Here, you will describe your strategy for ensuring that you have learnt the material in each module and in the course. How do you ensure that you are confident that the assignments you submit will pass with the grade you are aiming for?
- Item Pass/Fail Criteria What do you have to be able to show to yourself to ensure that you have learnt the material in each module and in the course? What do you have to show in the submitted assignments?
- Schedule When do you plan on passing each test item and feature?
- Planning Risks and Contingencies Are there any foreseeable risks that may limit your ability to pass the course on time? What is your contingency plan?
- Glossary In this section you will build up a glossary of important terms in the course that you can use when studying. I suggest you collaborate with the rest of the class in a course discussion forum on Canvas and post your terms and definitions there so that they can be discussed.
