The Test Organisation

The scope and depth of the test are set out in the test strategy. The test manager has based the planning and estimating on that information. The cluster matrix sets out which test levels will be carried out. A system test will largely be performed within the IT project, while an acceptance test will be carried out by the business side (a users’ organisation or a central test department). The test organisation should be described in the test plans. Sometimes a reference to documentation already present in the organisation is sufficient.
