The test concept creates the prerequisites for the systematic and efficient organization and execution of the tests.

Testing solutions requires specific test management. This is described by the test concept.

The test concept with the test plan and test case descriptions is the basis on which the test organization and test infrastructure are provided and the tests are carried out.

The basis for the test concept is provided by the solution requirements and by the corresponding concepts.

The development of the test concept requires close cooperation between the user, developer, and operator, given that they have to make further essential contributions to the testing process in addition to the information from the basic documents. The test concept must be jointly accepted and then implemented.
