---+ Testing Procedures

<h3>Overview: </h3>
<p> The purpose is to define the procedures, tools and methodologies 
that will be used to assure that several types of tests will be 
created and will evolve with the software developed within the LCG 
App. Area projects.<br>

<h3>Frameworks for Testing:</h3>

            <a name-testframeworks /> 
            <p> Currently four test-framework tools are provided as free software 
              by the <a href="http://spi.cern.ch/extsoft/">SPI External Software 
              Service</a>. These are: Cpp Unit and Py Unit for unit-tests, Oval 
              which can cover from unit to validation tests, and QMTest which 
              provides more than a gui interface to organize and run the tests. 
              A set of short documents listed below are available and can help 
              with this tools. </p>
            <h3>Testing Guides</h3>
            <a name="howto" /></a> 
            <ul>

              <li>Testing frameworks available:<a href="http://spi.cern.ch/testing/HowTo-TestFramework-CppUnit.html">CppUnit </a>, 
<a href="http://spi.cern.ch/testing/HowTo-TestFramework-Oval.html">Oval</a>, <a href="http://spi.cern.ch/testing/HowTo-TestFramework-PyUnit.html">Py Unit</a>, <a href="http://spi.cern.ch/testing/HowTo-TestFramework-QMTest.html">QM Test</a>
              
            </ul>
            <h3> Testing documentation and planning:</h3>

            <a name="doctemplates" /></a> 
            <ul>
              <li> <a href="http://spi.cern.ch/testing/Testing_Doc_Templates/TESTING_testplan_template.html">testplan_template.html</a>.- 
                The main purpose of this document is to define and schedule the 
                testing process with all necessary resources (hardware, software 
                and staff responsabilities). Under test leader responsability. 
                (Examples: <a href="http://pool.cern.ch/infrastructure/pool_test_plan.html">POOL</a>)</li>
              <li><a href="http://spi.cern.ch/testing/Testing_Doc_Templates/TESTING_testcase_template.html">testcase_template.html</a> 
                or test case specification is a specific set of steps and data 
                along with the expected results for a particular test objective 
              </li>
            </ul>
