Installation Engineering Test Plan
Description
Develop a test plan for the installation engineering for our client’s software product. Installation engineering spanned seven operating systems, with or without terminal server running, and remoting to all operating systems via terminal services. Numerous conditions had to be detected and handled, such as the presence or absence of the correct .NET framework and the presence or absence of a SQL Server database instance.
Upon completion of the test plan, Stout’s consultant was asked to provide the testing services, which included the testing itself, defect reporting and tracking, and follow-up testing.
