| Factor | Explanation | Examples / Impact on Testing |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Domain | Industry-specific rules and standards affect rigor and focus | Pharma: Health risk focus, documented UATInsurance: A/B usability testing |
| 2. Organizational Goals & Quality Characteristics | Goals like automation, maturity level, or defect detection efficiency | More automation → More automated test typesDemonstrate value → Metrics-based reporting |
| 3. Project Goals & Project Type | Constraints (budget, time) and type (custom or market) shape the test plan | Time/budget limits → Risk-based testingCustom project → Contractual acceptance testing |
| 4. Test Resources | Skills, tools, infrastructure, devices, licenses | Skilled testers → Experience-based techniquesTool limits → Affects automation choice |
| 5. Software Development Lifecycle Model (SDLC) | Affects timing, effort, entry/exit criteria, automation needs | CI/CD → Automated regressionWaterfall → Heavy upfront planning |
| 6. Interfaces with Other Systems | Integration complexity, inter-team alignment | System of systems → System Integration Testing using risk-based testing |
| 7. Availability of Test Data | Data generation, privacy, complexity | AI systems → Require structured and verified dataProd data → Must anonymize for compliance |
