An effective software product testing requires some preparatory procedures. Testers should thoroughly examine the product specifics, its architecture, the client’s requirements, all available specifications types, etc.

Before proceeding to the checking procedure itself, testers should design test strategy, model, and plan; create necessary test scenarios and test cases. And all that should be based on the previously analyzed data.

Some testers are sure that a test model helps to organize, plan and manage the checking procedure. It is more convenient to perform web testing or mobile testing using the test model previously developed.

A test model is considered to be the biggest tester’s helper, especially on the projects with limited time. To create the test model, a specialist does not need to have some special skills or deep knowledge of a certain area. Everything is pretty simple.

First of all, there are no specific requirements to the test model. There are not any rules, obligatory components, etc. All that the tester needs is to examine the project and note his own observations and impressions, and they can be presented in various forms.

• Diagram
• Scheme
• Table, etc.
