Test plan
A Test Plan is a thorough document that
describes the test strategy, goals,
timetable, estimation, deliverables, and
resources needed to accomplish software
testing. The Test Plan assists us in
determining the amount of work required
to confirm the performance of the
software under test. The test plan acts as a
blueprint for carrying out software testing
operations as a defined procedure, which
the test manager meticulously monitors
and controls.
The perspective of the project is guided by
the Test Plan. It is similar to a rule book that
must be obeyed.
Important components such as test
estimates, test scope, and test strategy are
documented in the Test Plan so that it may
be evaluated by the Management Team and
reused for future projects.
