General SA4 Testing Framework (Is this title too pretentious?)

Tailoring Approach to Testing

...

This document provides GN and, more specifically, GN4.1 SA4 with a generalised technical specification for testing and validation. It can be seen as a a contribution to the general specification of GN approach to validation and testing, on the base of its the overall testing policy (for implementation and management of services -  any sources/refs?), and as an (tentative?) technical expression of the shared testing strategy.

...

In parallel: Monitor test progress on the base of test status and related measures (/metrics/reports), report test status to stakeholders, issue control/correction directives and perform corrective/adaptive actions for/on the test design, environment, execution, and perhaps even evaluation level test plan. Can be done in a single flow or iteratively.

Possibly provide  suggestions or inputs for the update of the general Testing and Validation Process and Strategy.

Test Documentation

On the common industry practices and with the strong influence from IEEE 829, and its sequel/update ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-3, which even provides even templates for both traditional (sequential and iterative) and agile approaches.

Organisational/Stategic Level

Policy and Strategy, also mandating the overall approach on validation and testing on base of documents such as this one.

Evaluation Level Documentation

For a specific service, product or solution

• Test Plan
• Test Status Report
• Test Completion Report

Test Level Documentation

• Test Design Specification
• Test Case Specification
• Test Data Requirements
• Test Data Report
• Test Environment Requirements
• Test Environment Report
• Detailed test results (base for status and completion reports on the base of individual tests execution logs and anomalies/incidents reports)
