2 Overview of Tests Results

2.1 Tests log

Give a few information about tests.
The XXX software (version x.y.z) was tested on the xxx test platform located in xxx, from the
yyyy/mm/dd to the yyyy/mm/dd. The tests of the test phase (ref. software test plan) where
executed.
Testers where:
• John Doe,
• Marc Smith

2.2 Rationale for decision

After executing a test, the decision is defined according to the following rules:
• OK: The test sheet is set to "OK" state when all steps are in "OK" state. The real result is
compliant to the expected result.
• NOK: The test sheet is set to "NOK" state when all steps of the test are set to "NOK" state
or when the result of a step differs from the expected result.
• Partial OK: The test sheet is set to "Partial OK" state when at least one step of the test is
set to "NOK" state or when the result of a step is partially compliant to the expected
result.  Keep it or remove. Source of inconsistencies: criteria to set if result is Partial
OK may be qualitative
• NOT RUN: Default state of a test sheet not yet executed.
• NOT COMPLETED: The test sheet is set to "Not Completed" state when at least one step
of the test is set "Not Run" state.

Tests results are listed in §3.

2.3 Overall assessment of tests

Give a qualitative overall assessment of tests.
Example:
• All tests with interfaces passed, graphical user interface is not optimized for screens of
the test platform
• All tests passed but software is too low for acceptable use
• …

Give quantitative results.

Statistics about tests:
• % of tests OK,
• % of tests NOK
• % of tests POK
• % of tests NR
• % of tests NC

Give also statistics about bugs and enhancements:

• Total number
• Number of Critical
• Number of Major
• Number of minor
• Number of enhancements

3 Detailed Tests Results

For each executed test, this document contains:
• Test identification;
• Test title;
• Test decision;
• A comment containing additional information or problems encountered during execution
and differences with the test procedure.

For the problems leading to a bug, the bug ID is reported in the result of the step where problem
was encountered.

3.1 Sub section name

Copy the sections names and the tests from the software test description document.
Add a fourth column to tables to write tests results

For each NOK in a step, at least one bug shall be created (or referenced if already exists).
