My teacher said that the test-plan was written absolutely wrong grammatically, and in general. He just laughed at it and critisize a lot and told me that any american would understand it. I definitely don't comprehend the problem. Okey, i guess there may be some incorrect terms and phrases which are commonly used in testing. I am a freshener in QA, so i still doubt in many words. But my knowledge of English isn't so bad to write something absolutely wrong, especially conserning grammatics. So, please help me to understand what actually wrong in my test-plan. I will be very thankfull for that!

Here it is....

Test plan identifier:  Nt1

1.Introduction

  1. Purpose

  • The aim of this Test Plan drawing up is the description of the “Notepad” program testing process. The document allows to gain understanding of the program testing activities.

  1. Background

  • The program called “Notepad” is designed to edit easy texts and create simple documents. “Notepad” is mainly used for viewing and editing text files (TXT), however many users use “Notepad” as a plain tool for web-page development.  

  1. Scope

  • The aim of the “Notepad” application testing is to check the correct operation of its functionalities and the application ease of use for a user.  

  1. Test Items

  • Functionality

  1. Features to be tested         

  • Document creation

  • Opening an existing document

  • Document saving

  • Saving the document as

  • Startup of “Notepad”  

  • Page settings

  • Text printing

  • Closing the notebook

  • Text deletion

  • Text copying

  • Text pasting from a clipboard

  • Text cutting to the clipboard

  • Text searching

  • Text replacing

  • Line moving

  • Inserting the date and time

  • Allocation of all the information in the file

  • Data entry into a new document

  • Text editing (word wrap)

  • Font changing

  1. Features to be untested

  • Help topics

  • Status bar fetching

There’s no need to test the program at this stage of development since these features are not so important as the others according to priority and can be tested in the next releases.

  1. Approach

During the "Notepad" program testing there will be applied such kinds of tests as:

  • Black Box;

  • dynamic;

  • positive;

  • negative;

  • functional;

  • manual;

  • ad-hoc.

  1. Items pass/fail criteria

  • Requirement coverage for this program is 100%;

  • 80% of tests have acquired the status “passed”;

  1. Suspension criteria and resumption requirements

  • The criterion of the program testing completion will occur due to the smoke test failure.

  • The requirement for the program testing resuming  is the second smoke test pass.

Thank you for dropping your question here. I agree to your teacher. I couldn't have laughed it off though.

One thing I would suggest.

  • Keep it short. I see that you are writing long sentences. That does not really look professional. 
  • Use synonyms. Also, you need to use more synonyms then regular words.

If I have to rewrite above plan. It would be as below. I am not changing the format.

Purpose

  • To test the "Notepad" program.

​Background

  • The "Notepad" program is mainly used to create, edit and view simple text files. By default it supports .txt extension.

Scope 

  • To verify the functionality of the "Notepad" program.  

Test Items

  • Functionality

Features to be tested         

  • Creation of a new file
  • Viewing and editing existing file
  • Priting
  • Changing fonts

Features not required to be tested

  • Help items
  • Status bar 

Approach

We currently do not have access to the source of  the program. We are going to do Blackbox testing on the product. We are going to test major functionalities. We are not planning to automate our testing as the product is much stable and we do not have frequent builds.

Acceptance criteria

  • The program will be tested against all test cases.
  • The product has to pass through at least 80% of tests.

Acceptance criteria for regression testing

  • The program has to be passed through smoke tests. In case of failure, it will not be put on to regression test.
  • After fixing bugs identified during smoke tests, the program will be retested. Once passed, program will be moved for regression.
