I completed my undergrad at NJIT and within the senior design course (capstone) I developed a better understanding of what a requirement and test plan document contains. It was grilled into my head that every time you write a document it must be clear and concise enough that anyone can understand it. The requirements document was specific to the customer needs while the test plan goes into detail of testing each requirement. I’m realizing right now at work how vital it is to write everything down. My coworker had to go out for surgery and his projects were transferred to me. It took me two weeks just to understand what he has completed because he did not have clear documentation of anything. It was so frustrating, but it supported all the scrutiny that I got while in my capstone course over documentation. While following procedures at work to complete an inflate and deflate tests I realized that the test methods had to be “dummy proof.” All documentation has to be this way because when an auditor comes in, they are unaware of everything besides the documents in front of them.
