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

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.

"U2" has a concert that starts in 17 minutes and they must all cross a bridge to get there. All four men begin on the same side of the bridge. You must help them across to the other side. It is night. There is one flashlight. A maximum of two people can cross at one time. Any party who crosses, either 1 or 2 people, must have the flashlight with them. The flashlight must be walked back and forth, it cannot be thrown, etc. Each band member walks at a different speed. A pair must walk together at the rate of the slower man's pace: Bono: 1 minute to cross Edge: 2 minutes to cross Adam: 5 minutes to cross Larry: 10 minutes to cross For example: If Bono and Larry walk across first, 10 minutes have elapsed when they get to the other side of the bridge. If Larry then returns with the flashlight, a total of 20 minutes have passed and you have failed the mission. Notes: There is no trick behind this. It is the simple movement of resources in the appropriate order.
