7/27/2019 Test Design Specification Template
4/5
A test design specification generally has the following
structure, in the following order:a) Test design specification
identifier;b) Features to be tested;c) Approach refinements;d) Test
identification;e) Feature pass/fail criteria.
Additional sections may be included at the end. If some or all
of the content of a sectionis in another document, then a reference
to that material may be listed in place of thecorresponding
content. The referenced material must be attached to the test
designspecification or available to users of the design
specification.
1. TEST DESIGN SPECIFICATION IDENTIFIER
Specify the unique identifier assigned to this test design
specification. Supply areference to the associated test plan, if it
exists.
2. FEATURESTOBE TESTED
Identify the test items and describe the features and
combinations of features that are theobject of this design
specification. Other features may be exercised, but need not
beidentified. For each feature or feature combination, a reference
to its associatedrequirements in the item requirement specification
or design description should beincluded.
3. APPROACH REFINEMENTS
Specify refinements to the approach described in the test plan.
Include specific testtechniques to be used. The method of analyzing
test results should be identified (e.g.,comparator programs or
visual inspection).
Specify the results of any analysis that provides a rationale
for test case selection. Forexample, one might specify conditions
that permit a determination of error tolerance(e.g., those
conditions that distinguish valid inputs from invalid inputs).
Summarize the common attributes of any test cases. This may
include input constraintsthat must be true for every input in the
set of associated test cases, any sharedenvironmental needs, any
shared special procedural requirements, and any shared
casedependencies.

4. TEST IDENTIFICATION
List the identifier and a brief description of each test case
associated with this design. Aparticular test case may be
identified in more than one test design specification. List
theidentifier and a brief description of each procedure associated
with this test designspecification.
5. FEATURE PASS/FAIL CRITERIA
Specify the criteria to be used to determine whether the feature
or feature combinationhas passed or failed.
