resources and schedule of testing activity. It identifies
the test items, features to be tested, who will do each
task and risk requiring contingency planning.

Answer / shailu

A software project test plan is a document that describes
the objectives, scope, approach, and focus of a software
testing effort. It should be thorough enough to be useful
but not so thorough that no one outside the test group will
read it. The following are some of the items that might be
included in a test plan, depending on the particular
project:

Title
Identification of software including version/release
numbers
Revision history of document including authors, dates,
approvals
Table of Contents
Purpose of document, intended audience
Objective of testing effort
Software product overview
Relevant related document list, such as requirements,
design documents, other test plans, etc.

Outline of system-logging/error-logging/other capabilities,
