Deliverable 4: Software Test Plan and Findings

This document provides an outline for the Software Test Plan. Use this outline to structure the test plan for your software. The Software Test Plan provides a detailed description of the procedures, methods, and data used to test the software. It is expected that you will conduct both black- and white-box testing. This deliverable will detail the process of testing as well as the findings. Please note, errors that are detected during the execution of the test plan should be reported. An ideal response would follow the outline below and contain section headings, subheadings, and contents corresponding to each item.
