Acme Art Gallery is a small art gallery specializing in paintings produced by local artists. To increase sales, the gallery has hired a website design firm to create a website for the gallery. One of the most important features of the site will be a virtual gallery, which will allow visitors to the site to view digital images of paintings in the gallery's collection. Visitors will not be able to buy paintings directly from the website because the gallery owner believes that few people would be willing to buy a painting based solely on a digital image. However, if a visitor finds a painting that he/she likes in the virtual gallery, he/she will be able to reserve the painting for up to one week to ensure that it will be there when he/she visits the gallery in person.

The virtual gallery will be used by current and potential customers of the Acme Art Gallery. Most site visitors are expected to live within 100 miles of the physical gallery's location.

You are a business analyst working for the website design firm hired by Acme Galleries. You have been assigned to develop a test plan and test procedures for the virtual gallery feature of the site. Your manager has provided you with a list of requirements for the virtual gallery and a standard template that the firm uses for its test plans and procedures.

Upon completing this lab, you will be able to:

select appropriate testing strategies for specific system requirements;

write an overall test plan for a system module, including multiple types of testing;

document the test environment and test data required to carry out the test plan; and

write a detailed test procedure to verify a set of requirements, including test cases, procedure steps, and expected results.
