Question { HCL, 24594 }

What do you mean by High Level and Low Level Scenarios
explain using an Example ?

Answer

High level: Is like the overview of any test/ scenario, in
which you define the major parts of your scenario.

Exp: Suppose you are given with a module, for coding.In
that case first you will decide the major things like
Language, Database, SystemCong. etc... then proceed further.

Low level: It's like "Exploratory Testing" in which you
study the whole thing in detail.

Exp:If you take the same example... After the major thing.
Now you are ready for coding.So here you will decide some
variable names and use some std's for coding. so that any
one can understand , what have you done.......

Question { MBT, 4541 }

what is the difference between QA test plan & test plan?

Answer

I think their is no differnce between these, Both are same.

Look, what a test plan actually contains::::

The test strategies.
The test cases and
The test data ,based on the given SRS.

In the test plan we also decide the deadlines, bug-
reactification level and soon.....

Which leads to the QualityAssurence.Based on that test plan
you can claim that we have achived this much/level of
quality.... So i think their is no diff..It's just a
confusion.........
