IEEE 829 (Software Test Documentation Standard)

IEEE 829 is a set of internationally recognized guidelines for documenting software testing processes. It provides a structured way to plan, design, execute, and record tests to ensure software functions correctly and meets requirements. The standard promotes consistency and clarity by defining various test documents, such as test plans, test cases, test reports, and defect reports. This helps teams communicate effectively, track testing progress, and identify issues systematically, ultimately improving software quality and reliability.
