Frequently Asked Questions

What is a test plan?

A test plan is a formal document that describes the scope, approach, resources and schedule for testing software or hardware. It's the QA team's roadmap for a release - covering what will be tested, how, by whom, when and against what criteria.

What should a test plan include?

A complete test plan includes scope, objectives, test approach, in-scope and out-of-scope items, test environment, test schedule, resources and roles, entry and exit criteria, risks and mitigations, deliverables and approval signatures.

What are the types of test plans?

Common types include master test plan (covering all testing for a project), level test plan (for a specific level like unit, integration or system testing), test type plan (for a specific type like performance or security testing) and release test plan (for a specific release).

How do you write a test plan?

Start with the scope and objectives. Define the test approach - what types of testing, what tools, what coverage. Document the environment, schedule, resources and risks. Set clear entry and exit criteria. Get sign-off from QA, engineering and product before testing begins.

What is the difference between a test plan and a test strategy?

A test strategy is a high-level, organization-wide document describing how testing is approached across all projects. A test plan is project-specific - it applies the strategy to a particular release or product. Strategies are reused; plans are created for each project.
