Stage 1 of the HNGi13 QA Track focused on reviewing requirement documents and translating them into an actionable test plan.
For this task, I worked on Gradific, a grading and task management platform for educators. My goal was to understand how features like workspace creation, assignment setup, and grading flow together, and then design a testing strategy around them.
I started by analyzing the PRD and FRD, identifying core functionalities and edge cases. From there, I created a structured Test Plan outlining objectives, scope, approach, risks, and deliverables. I also designed 10 detailed test cases to validate and verify that the requirements are met and the system works as expected.
This experience taught me how important it is to plan before testing commence, understanding requirements deeply helps uncover gaps early and ensures focused, efficient testing.
Key Takeaway
Translating requirements strengthens both product understanding and tester intuition.
