VIPS: Lab III – Prototype Test Plan/Procedure
1 Objective
The Test Plan is intended to set forth the procedures VIPS will use to test the
prototype. The Test Plan will establish VIPS Inc’s approach to testing, the order of
testing, and the actual tests used to prove the functionality of the VIPS prototype. The
Test Plan document will enable VIPS to prove its product will provide an effective
means of handling visitor parking in complex parking environments. VIPS will use the
Old Dominion University parking environment to model its prototype. The successful
completion of the VIPS Test Plan will show the prototype will meet several objectives.
The first objective is designed to show that the VIPS prototype will interface with
RFID access control technology as well as provide barcode access. The VIPS prototype
will provide secure Internet based registration through access control. The VIPS product
website will allow visitors to register a visit and generate a printable barcode pass. The
VIPS website will also allow university faculty to invite a visitor. The barcode passes
generated from the website will be scanned upon the visitor’s arrival to the garage. The
VIPS website will generate and email the pass to the faculty invited visitor. The VIPS
database will authenticate the barcode and either grant or deny access. The prototype
will use an Oracle database and prevent system abuse by emulating the customer
database. The prototype is going to include a garage simulation that will show the
barcode and RFID access as well as demonstrate the arrival and departure of
subscription users and visitors. The VIPS database will be used to authenticate both
subscription users and visitors. The database will authenticate based if the RFID or
barcode is in the appropriate database table. The VIPS prototype will also provide a test
harness capable of manipulating data in order to show what-if based scenarios. The
3
VIPS: Lab III – Prototype Test Plan/Procedure
scenarios will include garages all full, garages empty, garages half full, and garages full
expect 1 visitor space. Finally, the prototype will show historical trends with a database
report. The Test Plan will help VIPS successfully meet these objectives and prove the
feasibility of the VIPS product.

VIPS: Lab III – Prototype Test Plan/Procedure
3 Test Plan
The Test Plan will explain and describe the methods that VIPS Inc. will use to
test the prototype. The Test Plan will also provide the approach to testing, the
identification of the test, the schedule of the tests, how the test data will be recorded,
the resources required to test, and finally the environment the tests will be conducted in.
The tests are designed to prove one or more of the requirements are met. The results of
the test will be recorded and tracked by the VIPS team in order to improve the product
design. The Test plan will be used to prove the prototype can work and the VIPS real
world product is feasible.
3.1 Testing Approach
The feasibility of the VIPS product will be based on the performance of the VIPS
prototype in the testing environment. The VIPS prototype will be subjected to a number
of test cases. VIPS Inc. designed each test case to prove the requirements of the VIPS
prototype are met. The successful completion of the Test Plan will help ensure the
success of the VIPS product. The VIPS prototype MFCD is illustrated in figure 1. The
prototype MFCD illustrates the major functional components that will be tested.

VIPS: Lab III – Prototype Test Plan/Procedure
Figure 1 - VIPS Prototype MFCD
Successful development of the VIPS prototype will be validated through the
following component tests:
1. VIPS Setup tests will verify that all hardware is set up and the VIPS software
is configured properly.
2. VIPS Website tests will verify that the website is running and provides the
registration functionality.
3. VIPS Database tests will verify the database is established and performing
the required procedures.
4. VIPS Engine tests will verify the engine is operating correctly and passing the
appropriate data.
6
VIPS: Lab III – Prototype Test Plan/Procedure
5. The Simulation tests will verify the VIPS product will work in a simulated
parking environment.
The VIPS prototype will be tested as rigorously as possible. The VIPS database
has been pre-seeded with customers. The garage simulation VIPS will run has been
modeled as close as possible to the real world garages VIPS will someday manage.
The simulation will populate the garages with the pre-seeded customers. The simulation
will attempt to prove the seamless integration of visitors, into a subscription parking
environment, with the use of the VIPS product. The VIPS Website will prove that visitors
can preregister a visit and obtain a visitor pass prior to arriving to the parking
environment. The website will also show that faculty will have the ability to invite their
guests with the VIPS product. The VIPS database will show that it will be able to handle
visitor data, process requests, validate both subscribers and visitors, and provide
historical data. Finally, the VIPS Engine will show that it will be able to process
subscribers and visitors and control access into the garages.
3.2 Identification of Tests
VIPS Inc. has developed test cases to validate the VIPS prototype. The test
cases are listed in Table 1. The test cases are presented in categories. Each category
is designed to test a component of the VIPS prototype. The categories are: setup, VIPS
Website, VIPS Database, VIPS Engine, and simulation.
The test cases will be
individually presented in sections 5.1 through 5.5.

3.3 Test Schedule
During the prototype demonstration presentation VIPS Inc. will have one hour to
prove the feasibility of its product. The first five minutes will be used to set up the
hardware and software. Then, ten minutes will be spent explaining the scope and
feasibility of the VIPS product. The next 30 minutes will be dedicated to the
demonstration of the VIPS product through successful completion of each test case.

3.4 Fault Reporting and Data Recording
The VIPS team will have a designated team member track the results of each test
case. The results will be tracked and made available to the expert panel on request.
Each test that is successfully completed will simply be marked as passed. If a test case
is to fail, the test will be marked as failed and every effort will be made to correct the
discrepancy. There will be a section for comments for each test case as well. It is the
intention of VIPS to provide an interactive demonstration. If a panel member asks VIPS
to demonstrate a test, VIPS will record the test and the results of that test as well. VIPS
will base success of its test on the expected results of each test case. The expected
results are delineated in sections 5.1 though 5.5
3.5 Resource Requirement
The VIPS prototype demonstration will have to have some resources in order to
be effective. These resources range from computer to VIPS developed software.
