Abstract
Definitions of test profiles suggest ways to make the planning & management exercises of testing software projects (called testing project in this paper) more scientific. This can be achieved by introducing some quantitatively measurable parameters in each of the profiles – particularly so in the planning phase. Emphasis is on setting “measurable quality & testing goals” upfront, for the software project/product, and deriving all other attributes of the plan so as to achieve these goals.

This white paper discusses the subject of software project planning & management from a testing perspective. Three test profiles are defined for a given project, each at a different stage in the lifecycle.
