Ravi,

The test results are documented in the test work bench or in the test case you created. There are organizations interested to capture only the defects and pass/fail status of the test cases.

Yes, Performance test and iteration tests will also be carried out after integration test. Usually business users will be involved in doing these tests. In some organizations to test performance of the system, they may outsource that to some offshore team too. They will capture the results or defects again in Testing tools like SolMan test workbench or HPQC.

Hi Ravi,

Here are the answers for your questions from my experience. It may vary in each engagement.

1. Unit test cases should be prepared by Functional consultant. This can be a simple excel or you can use Test work bench in SolMan. Since unit test cases are mostly transaction tests, it is better done by the consultant.

2. The unit testing can  be done by the consultant and/or by the business. The proof can simply be the status update to the test case as pass/fail or can be screen shots and detailed result description.

3. Most of the unit tests are done in DEV system, do not need to move things to QA

4. Integration test in other way is done in the quality system. The integration test cases should be outlined by the business and detailed by the Consultant. For example, forecasting the particular product group is the outline, but the step by step test case is developed by the consultant.

5. For Integration test, it is better to use some testing tools like Test Workbench in SolMan. Because capturing and tracking and solving of the defects is more important in the integration test.

6. Integration tests are mostly executed by business and consultant will support them in the testing process steps.

Hope it helps
