Create a test plan for a group of requirements

Pre-conditions

• A group of requirements has been identified for a product release or milestone.

Scenario

1. A test plan is selected for the group of requirements
   • If a suitable test plan already exists then it is selected
   • Otherwise a new test plan is created
2. A bi-directional link is created between the test plan and the group of requirements
   • Link can be used to examine which group of requirements is validated by the test plan
   • Link can be used to examine which test plan validates the group of requirements
3. Test cases are associated with the test plan
   • New test cases may be created for each requirement in the group
   • Existing test cases may also be selected
4. The test plan details are updated based on the test cases to be executed
   • Planning data such as required resources and work estimates are collected
   • The test plan may be reviewed and refined as needed
5. Product requirements are implemented
   • Candidate driver is created
   • Candidate driver is delivered for test
6. Test cases are executed
   • Defects are created as necessary
   • Test execution continues until test plan's exit criteria has been met

Post-conditions

• The group of requirements has been validated in a candidate driver.
