Test Plan for Mobile Signal Finder

1. Overview
• Project Name: Mobile Signal Finder
• Purpose: To validate the functionalities and performance of the Mobile Signal
Finder application, ensuring it meets specified requirements for usability,
accuracy, and reliability.
• Prepared by: [Your Name]
• Reviewed by: [Reviewer’s Name]
• Date: [Date]

2. Scope
• Features to be Tested:
o Signal search and retrieval based on location
o Signal report submission by users
o User interface elements (forms, buttons, tables)
o Error handling and validation
o Database interactions (saving and retrieving signal reports)
• Out of Scope:
o Third-party service reliability (e.g., external map APIs)
o Non-functional requirements like compliance with specific regulatory
standards

3. Objectives
• To ensure the application accurately displays mobile signal reports based on
user input.
• To verify that signal report submissions work as expected and data is stored
correctly.
• To confirm that error handling and validation are effective.
• To check the usability and accessibility of the interface.

4. Test Approach
• Testing Levels:
o Unit Testing: Conducted by developers to verify the functionality of
individual code units.
o Integration Testing: Verify interactions between components, such as
frontend-backend communication.
o System Testing: Full end-to-end testing of the application’s features.
o Acceptance Testing: Testing to ensure the application meets business and
functional requirements.
• Testing Types:
o Functional Testing: Validate each feature against the specifications.
o Usability Testing: Check interface usability and consistency.
o Performance Testing: Ensure application response time is acceptable
under load.
 o Security Testing: Assess vulnerability to ensure data protection and
prevent unauthorized access.

5. Test Environment
• Hardware:
o Servers with PHP and MySQL setup
o Devices: Desktop, tablet, mobile devices
• Software:
o Browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge
o Tools: Database management (e.g., phpMyAdmin), optional test
automation tools (e.g., Selenium)
• Network: Stable internet to simulate different user conditions

7. Test Data Requirements
• Sample Locations: Data for popular cities (e.g., "New York," "London") to validate
the search function.
• Provider Names: Sample provider names for report submission.
• Invalid Data: Data to test field validation, such as non-numeric input for signal
strength.

10. Risk and Mitigation

Risk Impact Mitigation Strategy
Database downtime Testing delays Use a backup database
during testing environment for uninterrupted
testing.
Third-party API Potential breakdown in Regularly check for updates and
changes functionality modify code for compatibility.
Limited access to Limited test coverage Use emulators and testing labs for
mobile devices on mobile broader mobile testing.
