소개
The Heuristic Test Strategy Model (HTSM) is a comprehensive mind map template for software test planning, adapted from Michael Bolton's Rapid Software Testing notes. It organizes 313 nodes across six major branches: Project Environment, oracle, TEST TECHNIQUES, Quality criteria, PRODUCT ELEMENTS, and a reference node. Testers can use this template to systematically explore testing dimensions such as 'Mission', 'Domain Testing', and 'Capability'. The template serves as both a cheat sheet and a structured guide for designing test strategies, ensuring coverage of key areas like risk, user expectations, and product elements.
