Action 5: Draft High-Level Test Plan
Description and Activities

Prepare a 1-2 page write-up with the following information:

  • Project name, charge number
  • Points of contact
  • Project description and objectives
  • Deliverables
  • Resources
  • Test Methodology and Requirements
Specify any infrastructure or logistical requirements. For example,
  • Will the evaluation team need to connect to or isolate data from the MITRE Information Infrastructure (MII)?
  • Will the team perform any product tests in parallel?
Complete this write-up using the High-Level Test Plan template.

Provide a list of purchase requests to the evaluation team lead if supporting equipment (hardware/software) is required for testing.
Lessons Learned Write the High-Level Test Plan with as much detail as possible, and as if it is a deliverable for the sponsor or an outside reader. Provide background, introduce the products to be evaluated, and present the testing and scoring methodology. This document will continue to grow and can hopefully become Chapter 2: Test Strategy in the Final Report.
