Whereas Functional Testing test plans are generated from the Requirements documents, Structural Testing Test Plans are generated from the application itself. Whilst there will always be a significant amount of overlap between the two test plans(Functional and Structural), both should still be created as there are differences in the types of errors captured by each.

Writing A Functional Test Plan
We’ve already discussed how a lack of an effective test plan is one of the the major reasons why your implementations fail and discussed effective testing techniques so now it’s time to get into the nitty gritty and discuss testing techniques in detail. We’ll start off with Functional Testing which, whether you know it or not, is probably the testing technique you’re most familiar with. Continue reading
Effective Testing Techniques
Last time we talked about the impact leaving testing to chance can have on your implementations (and it’s not good), this week we’re going to look at the different types of testing that you can use to give your testing the best chance of catching the defects it’s supposed to. Continue reading
4 Reasons Why Your Implementations Fail
Testing accounts for a significant part of any development effort. Estimates put this at between 50% – 80% of producing the first working version of an application. If the lifecycle of an application is considered from inception to retirement, then test and quality assurance costs are an even larger part of the total cost. Continue reading
