Purpose of the document

This document is divided into two sections and describes the two key elements to the approach and vision of testing within the GoR Institutions:

• Software Testing Policy: An overview of the values supporting the testing approach
• Test Guidelines: These are best practices on how testing should be done, what needs to be taken into account, and the different test stages that may be used to ensure that systems are tested properly in order to create dependable and high-quality systems.

These guidelines will be revised from time to time based on the latest technology trends, feedback from Government Institutions and the level of maturity of the testing services functions.
