Our company has an existing software product, and part of any good product is continual testing. Most manual testing environments consist of two phases, a planning phase and an execution phase.

We would like to collaborate with students to analyze our product and devise a thorough test plan for our product (or a section of our product) that can be executed.

This will involve several different steps for the students, including:

• Conducting background research on our product and analyzing user profiles, user stories, and desired outcomes.
• Creating a detailed testing plan for features such as mobile responsiveness, internationalization, accessibility, browser compatibility, etc.
• Executing the testing plan through manual means.
• Analyzing and reporting results of testing.

Bonus steps in the process would also include:

• Automating tests using software to simulate user activity.

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

• Understanding of our product, users, and desired features
• Understanding of the software testing process and features to test for
• Analysis of testing results

Bonus steps would include:

• Automating software tests

Final deliverables should include

• A final report.
• A 10-minute presentation.

Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

• Current product understanding and user journeys
• Industry standard testing approaches and software tools
• Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter.

We can provide students with:

• A walkthrough / tutorial of our product
• Examples of software test plans
