1.0 INTRODUCTION
A succinct overview of the product that is being tested. It should summarize all functionalities at a high level.
2.0 GOALS AND TASKS
2.1 Goals
Expound on the goals endorsed by the Master Test Plan. For example, clearly spelling out tasks and responsibilities, acting as a medium for communication, utilized as a service level agreement document, and more.
2.2 Tasks
Enumerate all tasks identified by this Test Plan, including testing, post-testing, problem identification, and so forth.
3.0 SCOPE
Overall: This portion details what is being tested, highlighting new elements to all functionalities of a specific product, its current interfaces, integration of all functionalities, etc.
Strategies: List how you plan on accomplishing the tasks outlined in the “Scope” section.
For example, if current interfaces are set to be tested, what procedures will you adhere to when notifying crucial stakeholders to represent their respective fields while reserving time to assist in achieving your objective?
4.0 TESTING METHODOLOGY
Detail the broader approach to testing. For each significant group of features or combination thereof, establish the approach to ensure these feature groups are adequately tested.
Prescribe the key activities, methodologies, and tools used to test the specified groups of functionalities.
The approach should be described with enough specificity to enable identification of primary testing tasks and estimation of time needed for each.
4.1 Unit Testing
Definition: Dictate the minimum level of comprehensiveness sought. Identify the methods used to determine the thoroughness of the testing effort (for example, determining which statements have been executed at least once).
Specify any additional completion criteria, such as error frequency. The means of tracing requirements should be outlined.
Participants: List the names of the individuals/departments accountable for conducting a Unit Test.
Methodology: Describe how unit testing will be carried out. Specify who will draft the test scripts for Unit Testing, the sequence of events for Unit Testing, and how the testing activity will unfold.
4.2 System and Integration Testing
Definition: Document your comprehension of System Testing and Integration Testing for your project.
Participants: Who will be overseeing System and Integration Testing for your project? List the individuals responsible for this process.
Methodology: Detail how System & Integration testing will unfold. Who will compose the test scripts for Unit Testing? What will be the sequence of events for System & Integration Testing and how will the testing process happen?
4.3 Performance and Stress Testing
Definition: Enumerate your understanding of Stress Testing for your project.
Participants: Who will oversee Stress Testing for your project? List the individuals accountable for this activity.
Methodology: Describe how Performance & Stress Testing will occur. Who will compose the test scripts for testing, what is the sequence of events for Performance & Stress Testing, and how will the testing procedure transpire?
4.4 User Acceptance Testing
Definition: The purpose of the acceptance test is to ensure that the system is ready for operational deployment. During the Acceptance Test, end-users (customers) compare the system to its original requirements.
Participants: Who will be responsible for User Acceptance Testing? List the names of the individuals and their responsibilities.
Methodology: Describe how User Acceptance testing will be done. Who will draft the test scripts for testing, what is the sequence of events for User Acceptance Testing, and how will the testing procedure take place?
4.5 Batch Testing
4.6 Automated Regression Testing
Definition: Regression testing involves selectively retesting a system or component to ensure that modifications haven’t inadvertently caused unwanted effects and that the system or component still operates as dictated by the requirements.
4.7 Beta Testing
5.0 HARDWARE PREREQUISITES
Computers
Modems
6.0 ENVIRONMENTAL PREREQUISITES
6.1 Main Frame
Describe the required and desired properties of the test environment.
The description should encompass the physical characteristics of the facilities, including the hardware, networks, and system software, the mode of usage (for example, stand-alone), and any additional software or supplies needed to support the test.
Also, specify the level of security needed to protect the test facility, system software, and proprietary components such as software, data, and hardware.
Identify the specific test tools needed. Identify any other testing requirements (for instance, publications or office space). Identify the source of all needs that are not currently available to your team.
6.2 Workstation
7.0 TEST TIMELINE
Include all test milestones identified in the Software Project Schedule as well as all product transmittal events.
Define any extra test milestones needed. Estimate the time needed to complete each testing activity. Specify the timeline for each testing activity and test milestone. For each testing resource (that is, facilities, tools, and staff), specify its periods of use.
8.0 CONTROL PROCEDURES
Incident Reporting
Outline the procedures to follow when encountering an incident during the testing process. If a standard form will be used, attach a blank copy as an “Appendix” to the Test Plan.
If an automated incident logging system is being used, document the procedures.
Modification Requests
Document the process for software changes. Identify who will authorize the modifications and what the criteria for incorporating the changes into the current product would be.
If the modifications will impact the current programs, then these modules must be highlighted.
9.0 FEATURES TO BE TESTED
Identify all software features and combinations of software features that will be tested.
10.0 FEATURES NOT TO BE TESTED
Identify all features and significant combinations of features that will not be tested, including the reasons.
11.0 RESOURCES/ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES
Specify the staff members involved in the Test Project and their respective roles (For example, Mary Brown (User) will compile Test Cases for Acceptance Testing).
Identify the teams responsible for managing, designing, preparing, executing, and resolving test activities as well as related issues.
Additionally, identify the teams responsible for providing the test environment. These teams may include developers, testers, operational staff, testing services, etc.
12.0 SCHEDULES
Primary Deliverables: Identify the documents to be delivered.
The following documents can be listed:
- Test Plan
- Test Cases
- Test Incident Reports
- Test Summary Reports

14.0 DEPENDENCIES
Identify significant constraints on testing, such as test-item availability, testing-resource availability, and deadlines.
15.0 RISKS/ASSUMPTIONS
Identify high-risk presumptions in the test plan. Assure contingency plans are delineated for each one (for instance, delays in delivery of test items may require increased night shift scheduling to meet the delivery date).
16.0 TOOLS
Indentify the automation tools that will be used for the project. Include bug tracking tools as well.
17.0 APPROVALS
Indicate the names and titles of all persons required to approve this plan. Include space for signatures and dates.
