Answer / sitam
Test Strategy is a high-level description of the test levels
to be performed and the testing within those levels for an
organization or program (one or more projects).
Test Plan is a document describing the scope, approach,
resources and schedule of intended test activities. It
identifies amongst others test items, the features to be
tested, the testing tasks, who will do each task, degree of
tester independence, the test environment, the test design
techniques and entry and exit criteria to be used, and the
rationale for their choice,and any risks requiring
contingency planning. It is a record of the test planning
process.
