Test Plans
A Test Plan is a container for tests and can be associated
with parent Control objects and child objects, such as Test Results and Issues. Determine the
operating effectiveness of a Control by conducting detailed tests and then documenting the results.
Test Plans describe the mechanisms that determine if a Control is effective. For example, a sample
Control is:
Human Resources authorizes changes in employee status.A test for this control might be:
Verify HR authorization stamp on new employee records.The test verifies that the new Control is implemented and in use.
The default OpenPages® Internal Audit Management configuration uses the Workpaper object in place of the Test Plan and Test Result. The Audit object needs access to these objects because they are often used to document business testing.
