For Pass standard , learners will explain the results of testing using graphical and
written methods. For example, they will present a report of grouped passed, failed and
skipped tests with a pie chart of the results.
Learners will suggest basic improvements to the test plan that will improve their quality
assurance process for future test iterations. For example, the steps to reproduce the
issue may contain similar information to the title of the bug. Also, adding clear steps to
reproduce the issue would be a basic improvement.
Overall, the evidence will be logically structured and it may contain minor technical
inaccuracies relating to software testing terminology. The presentation may be basic in
parts and the results should be generally clear. For example, a presentation may contain
tests that have missed steps and cause them to fail when the functionality is present.
