Test concept
Description
The test concept describes the test objectives, test objects, test types, test infrastructure, and test organization. It also includes test planning and test case descriptions. A detailed test case description is created for each test case. This constitutes the test specifications. Test planning determines the logical and chronological structure of the tests. The test concept forms the basis on which the test organization and test infrastructure are provided and the tests are carried out. The test concept is updated if new findings arise.
