Test Strategy for PeViitor Search Engine

Project Name: Job Search Engine
Prepared By: Adelina Guliman
Date: 20.06.2024

  1. Introduction

This document presents the testing strategy for the PeViitor search engine. The purpose of this strategy is to ensure the functionality, performance, security, usability, and compatibility of the search-engine meet the required standards and provide an optimal user experience.

  1. Objectives
  • Verify that the home page functions correctly under different scenarios.
  • Ensure the page loads within acceptable time limits.
  • Validate the security of the home page.
  • Confirm that the home page is user-friendly and accessible.
  • Ensure compatibility across different browsers and devices.
  1. Test Approach

3.1 Functional Testing

  • Search Functionality: Verify that the search bar accepts input and returns relevant job listings.
  • Navigation: Ensure that all links (e.g., LinkedIn, Instagram, Discord, GitHub, Meet Jit Si, DevTool, Api Pe Viitor, Asociația Oportunități și Cariere) are functional and direct users to the correct pages.
  • Filters: Validate that job filters (e.g., location, job type, company name) work correctly and refine the search results as expected.
  • Job Listings: Check that job listings display correctly with all relevant information (job title, company name, location, etc.).
  • Responsive Design: Ensure the home page is responsive and renders correctly on different screen sizes (desktop, tablet, mobile).

3.2 Performance Testing

  • Load Time: Measure the page load time under normal and peak traffic conditions.
  • Stress Testing: Test the home page performance under high traffic volumes to ensure it can handle large numbers of users.

3.3 Security Testing

  • Input Validation: Check for SQL injection, XSS (Cross-Site Scripting), and other common vulnerabilities.
  • Secure Connections: Ensure the home page uses HTTPS and encrypts data during transmission.

3.4 Usability Testing

  • User Experience: Evaluate the overall user experience, including ease of navigation and clarity of information.
  • Accessibility: Ensure the home page meets accessibility standards (e.g., WCAG) for users with disabilities.
  • Feedback Mechanism: Verify that users can easily find and use the feedback/contact form.

3.5 Compatibility Testing

  • Browsers: Test the home page on different browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).
  • Devices: Test the home page on various devices (Windows, Mac, iOS, Android).
  1. Test Environment
  • Browsers: Latest and previous two versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.
  • Devices: A mix of desktop, tablet, and mobile devices. (
  • Network Conditions: Testing under different network conditions (Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G, 5G).
  1. Test Data
  • Job Listings: Use a mix of real and fake data to test various scenarios.
  1. Test Deliverables
  • Test Plan: Detailed test plan outlining test scenarios and cases.
  • Test Cases: Documented test cases for each type of testing.
  • Test Reports: Regular test reports summarizing test results and identified issues.
  • Bug Reports: Detailed bug reports with steps to reproduce, severity, and screenshots.
  1. Entry and Exit Criteria

7.1 Entry Criteria:

  • Requirements and design documents are approved.
  • Test environment is set up and configured.
  • Test data is prepared and available.

7.2 Exit Criteria:

  • All planned tests are executed.

  • All critical and high-severity bugs are resolved.

  • Load Testing on Real Production Environment
  1. Risks and Mitigations
  • Risk: Delays in test environment setup.
  • Mitigation: Plan and start environment setup early, and have backup environments ready.
  • Risk: Unavailability of test data.
  • Mitigation: Prepare test data well in advance and ensure it is comprehensive.
  1. Conclusion

This test strategy aims to ensure that the job search engine meets all functional, performance, security, usability, and compatibility requirements. By following this strategy, we aim to deliver a reliable and user-friendly home page that provides an optimal experience for users.
