47、yright 2002 Rational Software, all rights reserved 120 Requirements for Test Documentation There are many different notions of what a good set of test documentation would include. Before spending a substantial amount of time and resources, its worth asking what documentation should be developed (and

48、 why?) Test documentation is expensive and it takes a long time to produce. If you figure out some of your main requirements first, you might be able to do your work in a way that achieves them. Principles of Software Testing for Testers Copyright 2002 Rational Software, all rights reserved 121 Test

49、 Docs Requirements Questions w Is your test documentation a product or a tool? A product is something that you give to someone else to use. They pay for it. You will probably follow whatever standard they request, subject to their willingness to pay for it. In contrast, if the documentation is merel
