How test case is differ from test plan .give an suitable
example

Answer Posted / a sameer

Test cases will be written depending upon the test plan we
create because

Test plan has the following indexes like
(IEEE 829 Standard)

1. Test Plan Identifier
2. References
3. Introduction
4. Test Items
5. Software Risk Issues
6. Features to be Tested
7. Features not to be Tested
8. Approach
9. Item Pass/Fail Criteria
10. Suspension Criteria and Resumption Requirements
11. Test Deliverables
12. Remaining Test Tasks
13. Environmental Needs
14. Staffing and Training Needs
15. Responsibilities
16. Schedule
17. Planning Risks and Contingencies
18. Approvals
19. Glossary



Where Features to be tested, Features not to be tested, Item
pass/ fail criteria and approach. From these we can know
what would be the input to be given and what would be the
output we have to expect which is nothing but ( expected
results for the steps ). These form the baseline for test
cases where approach tells us what kind of techniques to be


1. Item pass/ fail criteria tells what would be the input to
be given and what would be the output to come which is
nothing but expected results for the steps designed.

2. Features to be tested and features not to be tested give
you an idea what all test cases to be written to all what
modules.

3. Approach and stratergy gives you and idea like what kind
of methodology the test cases should be and for what
methodology what kind of techniques to be used..

SO all these became a baseline to generate test cases , so
we can clearly say for generating test cases test plan
becomes the baseline..


If we are familiar with test plan and preparation of test
plan then it would be easy for all QA and QC people .

HOpe this might gives you the answer.
