As part of a new job, I have to devise and implement a complete test strategy for the companies new product. So far, all I really know about it is that it is written in C++, uses an SQL database and has a web API which is used by a browser client written using GWT.
As far as I know, there isn't much of an existing strategy, except for using Python scripts to test the web API.
I need to develop and implement a suitable strategy for unit, system, regression and release testing, preferably a fully automated one.
I'm looking for good references for :
Devising the complete test strategy.
Testing the web API.
Testing the GWT based application.
Unit testing C++ code.
In addition, any suitable tools would be appreciate
