  • Create test cases for each scenario, specifying inputs, expected outputs, and any preconditions or dependencies.
  • Define the expected results for each test case, considering factors such as accuracy, speed, and error handling.
  • Specify the acceptance criteria for each test case, including the tolerance for errors or deviations from the expected results.
  • Determine the validation methods to ensure the accuracy of the OCR software's extracted data.
  • Specify the criteria for validating the accuracy, such as manual verification, comparison with ground truth data, or statistical analysis.
  • Identify the performance metrics to be evaluated, such as processing speed, memory usage, or scalability.
  • Define the performance testing scenarios and expected performance benchmarks or thresholds.
  • Specify the criteria for user acceptance testing, considering factors such as ease of use, user interface, and overall user satisfaction.
  • Define the UAT scenarios and expected outcomes or success criteria.
  • Assess the need for training datasets to improve the OCR software's accuracy.
  • Determine the type and size of training datasets required, considering factors such as language support and document types.
