Test Plan

A software test plan is a document that describes the objectives, scope, approach, and focus of a software testing effort. The complete document will help people outside the test group understand the 'why' and 'how' of product validation.
The following are some of the items that might be included in a est plan, depending on the particular project -

> Title of Project
> Identification of document including version numbers
> Purpose of document, intended audience
> Objective of testing effort
> Software Product Overview
> Relevant standards or legal requirements
> Assumptions & dependencies
> Project Risk Analysis
> Scope and limitation of testing
> Test environment
> Database setup requirements
> Test Automation- justification and overview
> Software entrance and exit criteria
> Test site/location
> Appendix - glossary, acronyms, etc.
