6 - August 2015 Organization involves a description of the software testing organization(s). The STP should describe the boundaries and interfaces between the testing organization(s) and other company organizations. Reporting channels should be described. Responsibilities involve a definition of the responsibilities and authority of the software testing organization(s). The STP should specify the person or group responsible for the successful completion of each testing task. Security means that SDOE design features should be tested per RG 1.152. B.3.1.12.2 Implementation Characteristics of the STP The implementation characteristics that the STP should exhibit include measurement, procedures, and record keeping. Measurement concerns a set of indicators used to determine the success or failure of the software testing activity. The STP should require that data associated with testing be systematically collected and analyzed to determine the effectiveness of the testing effort. The STP should specify the criteria to be used to verify the completion of each testing task. Procedures involve a description of the software testing strategy. The STP should specify procedures for testing items. It should describe the method for keeping test cases and procedures synchronized with the software design. It should specify the procedure for associating released code with the associated testing documentation. The STP should specify procedures for tracking problem reports, and for ensuring that each problem reported has been correctly resolved. Record keeping concerns a description of the software testing record keeping requirements. The STP should identify required testing records. Procedures should exist for handling testing items. A tracking system should exist for managing test cases and procedure, so that the revision history of each item may be retrieved, and so that the latest revision of each item may be easily identified.
