Rajesh Kothapally:
Test Plan is one of the test deliverable in document format which is exit criteria for very first phase of STLC. Test Lead/Manager would be the right person to prepare and get it approved.
As name says plan the below points are considered while preparing it:
1. Introduction – About project description
2. In/Out Scope items – Based on requirement analysis
3. Assumptions
4. Resource Planning
5. Types of testing involved
6. Risks and mitigation
7. Schedule Variance/Slippage
8. List of deliverable at each and every phase of STLC.
9. Defect Density
Based on the project type the size of test plan may vary. In waterfall approach you may need to prepare for whole set of requirements till it goes live. For Agile you may need to prepare user story wise.
Happy Testing!
