What is a test plan?

A test plan is a very valuable written document that describes the testing strategy for a software or hardware project. It is a document that outlines the scope of testing, the resources needed, the test environment, and the test cases that will be executed. Its purpose is to ensure that the testing process is thorough and complete and that all necessary tests are conducted in a systematic and coordinated manner.

The test plan should be created at the beginning of the testing phase of a software development project. It should include the following information:

• Objectives
• Scope
• Resources
• Test Environment
• Scheduling
• Reporting
• Approval

Testing should follow a defined process, which includes the development of a test plan. This test plan is reviewed and updated throughout the testing process in order to ensure that it remains relevant and effective.
