Holistic Test Description (HTD)

Templates and guidelines relating to the ERIGrid Holistic Test Description (HTD).

Recommended use

For introductory use, read the guidelines. You find concept definitions, explanations of the template fields, step-by-step instructions and a few examples. Better even, read the paper [1].

For regular use, refer to the templates:

• Test Case "canvas" -- for initial drafting of test cases; e.g. print out as A3 format and fill out during face-to-face meetings
• Test Description Templates -- typical use: one document per test cases, then test specifications and experiment specification tables can be repeated multiple times.

In order to get more insights about the proposed approach please have a look into the examples which are provided in the Examples subfolder. Additional examples are provided also in the linked Documents for further reading below.
