Test Plan Document

You can use a Test Plan Document to document the strategy that will be used to verify and ensure that a software product or system meets its design specifications and other requirements. It will help you define Release Criteria, identify Test Deliverables, prepare Budget Costs and describe the test environment to be used for the testing.
Use the Test Plan to:
  • Define your Test Plan Strategy.
  • Identify different types of testing to be performed.
  • Provide schedules for test activities.
