what is the difference between Test strategy and test plan?

Answer Posted / sandeep choudhary

**A Test Strategy document is a high level document and
normally developed by project manager. This document
defines “Testing Approach” to achieve testing objectives.
The Test Strategy is normally derived from the Business
Requirement Specification document.
Components of the Test Strategy document

Business issues
->Roles and responsibilities
Communication and status reporting
Test deliverability
Industry standards to follow
Test automation and tools
Testing measurements and metrices
Risks and mitigation
Defect reporting and tracking

Training plan

**The Test Plan document on the other hand, is derived from
the Product Description, Software Requirement Specification
SRS, or Use Case Documents.
The Test Plan document is usually prepared by the Test
Lead or Test Manager and the focus of the document is to
describe what to test, how to test, when to test and who
will do what test.
