According to Workfront's training on scenario testing, what are three of the essential elements of a test plan? (Choose three.)

According to standard software testing methodologies applied within Workfront implementations, a scenario test plan is designed to validate a specific business process or user story. The essential elements for a functional test case include: a specific event or trigger that initiates the scenario (C), a detailed description of the steps the tester must perform (D), and a clear definition of the expected system behavior or outcome (B). These three components are critical to ensure that the test is repeatable, measurable, and can definitively determine if the configured functionality meets the specified requirements.

A. Roadmap requirements: These are high-level, strategic product goals, not the granular, functional details required for a specific scenario test plan.
E. Executive sponsor expectations: These are broad project objectives that are translated into testable requirements, rather than being a direct, itemized element within the test plan itself.

1. Adobe Experience League - Workfront Documentation: In the guides for implementing Workfront

the testing phase (often called User Acceptance Testing or UAT) emphasizes the creation of test cases or scripts. These scripts are structured around specific use cases and invariably contain sections for "Test Steps" and "Expected Results." The scenario itself is initiated by a business event or trigger.

Phase 4: Test and Validate. While a direct public link to a single page is dynamic

this phase within the official implementation methodology documentation outlines the creation of test cases which include the scenario (trigger)

steps

and expected outcomes.

2. University Courseware on Software Testing: Principles of software engineering and testing

as taught in university courses

define a test case with core components that align with the correct answers. A test case must include preconditions (the trigger/event)

a sequence of steps (testing steps)

and expected results (expected behavior).

3. Peer-Reviewed Standards (IEEE): The IEEE Standard for Software and System Test Documentation (IEEE 829-2008) provides a framework for test plans and test cases. A "Test Case Specification" as defined by the standard includes inputs

execution conditions (triggers/events)

procedures (steps)

and expected results (expected behavior).
