    Writing a Test Plan for Java Programme
    « on: February 15, 2015, 12:20:45 AM »
    Hey guys I'm doing an assignment and it's due tomorrow. Anyways, we are finishing the touches here and there but I have no idea how to do a 'Test Plan' for our java programme. Does anyone have a clue on how long it has to be and what should be written? Thanks.

    I manage to find these two document, one is very detailed and the other one is short and simple but I'm not sure if it does/does not match our the standards for a 'Test Plan'.

    How a program is tested depends strongly on what the program does. Neither of your links work, but in general, you want to cover expected and unexpected inputs, which seems sort of obvious. For expected inputs, verify that any result is correct. For unexpected inputs, you want to test corner cases and extremely large or small values, or values that are the wrong data type (strings being entered for numeric inputs, for example).
    I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.
