- To identify and rectify any defects or issues present in the software.

#### Scope
The testing will cover the following aspects of the library management software:
1. Functional Testing
2. Performance Testing
3. Usability Testing
4. Security Testing
5. Compatibility Testing

#### Test Approach

- Employ a mix of manual and automated testing techniques.
- Prioritize testing based on criticality and frequency of use.
- Adhere to a structured testing process, encompassing test planning, execution, and reporting.

#### Test Environment

- Operating Systems: Windows, macOS, Linux
- Browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge
- Devices: Desktops, Laptops, Tablets, Smartphones
- Internet Connection: High-speed internet for performance testing

#### Test Cases

 - Responsiveness across various screen sizes and resolutions
- Integration with other library systems and tools

#### Test Execution

- Develop test cases based on requirements documentation.
- Execute test cases manually or using automated testing tools.
- Document test results and any defects found.
- Retest fixed defects to ensure they have been resolved.

#### Reporting
- Prepare test reports detailing test coverage, results, and identified issues.
- Prioritize defects based on severity and impact on system functionality.
- Provide recommendations for improvement based on testing observations.

#### Conclusion
This test plan provides a comprehensive framework for testing the library management software. By
following this plan, we aim to ensure the software meets high-quality standards and effectively serves the
needs of library patrons and staff.
