A test plan is a document that describes the objectives,
scope, approach, and focus of a software testing effort.The
following are the items that might be included in a test
plan, depending on the particular project:
•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.
•Relevant standards or legal requirements
•Traceability requirements
•Relevant naming conventions and identifier conventions
•Overall software project organization and
personnel/contact-info/responsibilties
•Test organization and personnel/contact-
info/responsibilities
•Assumptions and dependencies
•Project risk analysis
•Testing priorities and focus
•Scope and limitations of testing
•Test outline - a decomposition of the test approach by
test type, feature, functionality, process, system, module,
etc. as applicable
•Outline of data input equivalence classes, boundary value
analysis, error classes
•Test environment - hardware, operating systems, other
required software, data configurations, interfaces to other
systems
•Test environment validity analysis - differences between
the test and production systems and their impact on test
validity.
•Test environment setup and configuration issues
•Software CM processes
•Test data setup requirements
•Database setup requirements
•Outline of system-logging/error-logging/other
capabilities, and tools such as screen capture software,
that will be used to help describe and report bugs
•Test automation - justification and overview
•Test tools to be used, including versions, patches, etc.
•Test script/test code maintenance processes and version
control
•Problem tracking and resolution - tools and processes
•Project test metrics to be used
•Reporting requirements and testing deliverables
•Software entrance and exit criteria
•Initial sanity testing period and criteria
•Test suspension and restart criteria
•Personnel allocation
•Personnel pre-training needs
•Test site/location
•Others
Whereas Test Planning is the process of creating and
maintaining a test plan and is the process of thinking
about the activities required to create a desired future on
some scale. It is a formal procedures or an endeavor used
for the creation of documents, diagrams, objectives to met,
strategy to be followed or meetings to discuss the
important issues to be addressed.
I think now the concept has been cleared.

Scenario A year ago we developed a standards compliant website for a client. Their site is very popular resulting in the client wanting to be able to track how it is being used by their users. The first part of this project is to create a Login function so that users can be identified on the website. The data supplied by users would have to be handled securely. You have been allocated this project to work on. You will be responsible for the task from start to finish and will be expected to give feedback to your manager. User expectations The client wants their users to be able to login using a page that fits in with the website design. Tom wants to access the website but doesn’t want his login information to be available to anyone else. Paul doesn’t want to login to the website because he’s not a frequent user. Task Please provide some feedback on how you would do the following:- Being the only Test Engineer on this task, what would your approach be for this requirement? Identify the key areas for testing this page. What tools if any, would you use to perform the testing, bearing in mind that the testing will be done without using an ‘automated test tool’. Provide a sample test case that could be used for testing this page, for example as a word or Excel document.
What are the challenges you faced in your project (Testing) and in your company?
Build with fixes has been deployed on QA environment if asked by your manager to reproduce how can you reproduce the issues? (by using the previous build) Can you access the previous build? If so ,what are the tools or how can you access?
.In languages testing, what is the fixed part and changing part?
