## 1. Introduction

This test plan defines the overall strategy and approach for validating the **System Under Test (SUT)**.
The focus includes functional validation, user flows, integration points, data handling, analytics tracking, security, and compliance alignment.

**Objectives include:**
- Ensuring features function as expected.
- Verifying smooth user navigation and workflows.
- Validating data handling and compliance with policies.
- Confirming correct analytics tracking and reporting.
- Assessing security, privacy, and accessibility standards.

---

## 2. Scope of Work

The testing will cover (customize as per project needs):
- **Functional Testing:** Validation of core features, workflows, and business rules.
- **Entry Points:** Validation of landing pages, navigation, and external/internal access points.
- **Conversion Paths:** Verification of forms, checkout processes, booking flows, or other business-critical journeys.
- **Communications:** Internal notifications, user-facing messages, system alerts, and email triggers.
- **Analytics & Tracking:** Validation of event logging, data attribution, and reporting accuracy.
- **User Experience & Accessibility:** Responsive design checks, accessibility compliance (e.g., WCAG), and usability validation.
- **Security & Privacy:** Authentication, authorization, encryption, secure data handling, and compliance alignment.

**Out of Scope (examples, can be adjusted):**
- Performance or load testing.
- Third-party SLA validation.
- Penetration or vulnerability testing.

---

## 3. Test Objectives

- Validate functional correctness of all core features and modules.
- Confirm integrity of workflows and event triggers.
- Verify compliance-based data handling and storage.
- Ensure analytics/events are captured accurately for reporting.
- Validate fallback/error-handling mechanisms.
- Confirm security/privacy features meet organizational or regulatory standards.

---

## 4. Test Approach

### 4.1 Functional Testing
- Validate features against requirements and acceptance criteria.
- Verify input/output processing accuracy.
- Confirm integration with dependent services/APIs.
- Validate exception handling and error messages.

### 4.2 Entry Points
- Test all user access points (UI buttons, embedded tools, navigation links).
- Verify redirections and navigation flows.
- Confirm analytics attribution for entry actions.

### 4.3 Conversion Paths
- Validate form submissions, workflow steps, and completion logic.
- Verify successful conversions (purchases, bookings, registrations).
- Confirm handling of invalid inputs and error recovery.

### 4.4 Communications
- Test notifications, alerts, and user communications.
- Verify system-triggered messages and scheduling.
- Confirm formatting, language, and delivery.

## Scope of Work

This test suite is designed to validate the core functionalities of the **System Under Test (SUT)**.
It covers end-to-end workflows, role-based interactions, integrations with external systems, automation processes, reporting accuracy, and system reliability.
The goal is to ensure the platform functions as intended and aligns with business, technical, and compliance requirements.

---

## Test Objectives

- Validate end-to-end workflows across major modules.
- Ensure features function as per requirements and specifications.
- Verify automation processes execute reliably.
- Test integrations with external systems (e.g., APIs, third-party services, analytics).
- Validate role-based access control (admin, user, reviewer, auditor, etc.).
- Confirm reporting and export capabilities (PDF, CSV, dashboards, audit logs).
- Assess dashboard accuracy, notifications, and tracking features.
- Validate system guidance (AI/automation prompts) where applicable.
- Evaluate system behavior under concurrent/multi-user usage.
- Identify and log defects, functional errors, and edge case handling.

---

## Roles & Responsibilities

- **Test Lead:** Coordinate suite execution, monitor progress, and review results.
- **Test Engineers:** Execute test cases, log and retest defects, verify fixes.
- **Developers (support role):** Assist with defect triage, fixes, and clarifications.
- **Stakeholders / Reviewers:** Validate outcomes, approve test results, and sign off.
