Interoperability is the degree to which two or more systems or components can exchange and use information. It is a crucial quality characteristic for an e-commerce product that needs to interface with backend applications, such as finance, stock control and order delivery. The test plan must include tests to verify that the COTS package can communicate and integrate with the existing systems and applications, and that the data and functionality are consistent and accurate across the interfaces. References = ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level Syllabus Technical Test Analyst, page 10, section 1.2.2.2.

Functional appropriateness is the degree to which a product or system provides functions that meet stated and implied needs when used under specified conditions1. It is typically tested during system testing, which is the process of testing an integrated system to verify that it meets specified requirements2. System testing is conducted after component testing and before acceptance testing, and it covers both functional and non-functional aspects of the system3. References = ISO 25010, section A.1; ISTQB Advanced Level Test Analyst Syllabus 2019, section 1.3.1; Test Automation Fundamentals, section A.1.

The test conditions are the inputs and outputs that are used to define the scope and objectives of testing. They should be understandable by business stakeholders because they affect their expectations and satisfaction with the software product. Business stakeholders can provide valuable feedback to the test analyst on the test conditions, such as clarifying any ambiguities, suggesting any changes, or identifying any gaps or risks. References =
