CartSure Testing Strategy & STLC Setup

Business Scenario

Today is the 3rd day of our project development journey.

We are working on a real-time client project to design a complete Testing Strategy & STLC Setup for an eCommerce web application called CartSure.

Our focus is on testing critical features like user registration, product search, cart management, checkout, payment processing, and order tracking.

Pre-Lab Preparation

The goal is to ensure the application is secure, reliable, and delivers a high-quality user experience.

Task 1: Identify STLC Phases

The Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC) for CartSure includes:

Example for CartSure:

Requirements: Users should be able to login, browse products, add to cart, and checkout.

Testable scenarios:

Login with valid credentials
Login with invalid credentials
Browse by category or search
Add product to cart
Remove product from cart
Checkout with valid payment

Requirement Analysis

Entry Criteria: Requirements document available
Exit Criteria: Test scenarios and RTM prepared

Example for CartSure:

Scope: Test all modules (Login, Browsing, Cart, Checkout)

Testing types: Functional, Integration, Regression, UAT

Resources: 2 QA testers, 1 automation tester

Timeline: 2 weeks for functional testing, 1 week for regression

Entry Criteria: Approved requirement document
Exit Criteria: Test plan ready and approved

Test Case Development

Test Planning

Test Case ID	Module	Scenario	Test Data	Expected Result
TC_001	Login	Valid Login	Username: User1, Password: Pass123	User logged in successfully
TC_002	Login	Invalid Login	Username: User1, Password: Wrong123	Error Message Displayed
TC_003	Cart	Add to Cart	Product: iPhone 14	Item added to cart

Entry Criteria: Test plan approved

Exit Criteria: Test cases and test data ready

Test Environment Setup

Example for CartSure:

Setup QA server with CartSure app installed
Database seeded with products and test users
Browsers: Chrome, Firefox
Devices: Desktop and Mobile

Entry Criteria: Test cases ready
Exit Criteria: Environment ready

Test Execution

Example for CartSure:

Execute TC_001 → Login successful → Pass
Execute TC_002 → Error message appears → Pass
Execute TC_007 → Item added to cart → Pass
If a bug occurs (e.g., product price not updating in cart), log in Jira

Entry Criteria: Stable build available
Exit Criteria: All test cases executed; defects logged & retested

Test Closure

Example for CartSure:

Prepare Test Summary Report:
- Total test cases: 50
- Passed: 47
- Failed: 3
Lessons learned: Checkout module needs additional performance testing

Sign-off: Stakeholders approve testing completion

Entry Criteria: Test execution completed
Exit Criteria: Testing closure report ready and signed off

Task 2: Define Entry & Exit Criteria

Entry Criteria

Requirements approved
Test plan ready

Exit Criteria

All test cases executed
Critical defects fixed
Test summary report completed
Stakeholder approval received

Test environment available
Test data prepared
