Product details

The test plan describes the scope and activities involved in the testing, as well the objective of each activity and how each is to be performed. It also contains details on the required resources such as equipment and manpower, schedule, and the approach. The plan explicitly identifies the features or workflow to be tested, the person assigned for the testing, training needs if necessary and the pass and fail criteria.

This presentation is important for determining whether a system or product will be able to meet quality standards before being produced or deployed. Test plans should list the risks foreseen in the project and their respective levels so that testing can be prioritized by risk. Perhaps the most important part of a test plan is the definition of resources needed. Resources can be seen as human, such as the people involved in the test, and technical, such as test environments, test tools and test data.

Manufacturing or production test plan – for preparing a product for assembly or manufacturing, determining its fitness and for verification and quality control. Writing a test plan is typically a test management or leadership responsibility. Others on the test team and in the organization may have input and review tasks, but it is generally up to the manager to actually write the test plan.

It is typical to have gaps and vagueness in the first draft of a test plan. Many times, the information needed in a test plan will emerge over time. Perhaps one of the most important tasks in creating the test plan is to review it. The first review should be a team review involving members of the test team with knowledge of the content. After making any needed changes, the next review should involve knowledgeable stakeholders such as project leaders, test team leaders, technical test analysts, business analysts, subject matter experts and any other people that can provide helpful perspectives in the review.

The test plan can be of several basic types. Regression test plan – usually made for an ongoing development or already-released product to determine if no functionality has been broken or bugs introduced after further development or product software update or upgrade. Compliance test plan – for verification of a conceptual product or prototype to determine if it can comply with standards before further development. Acceptance test plan – for the test performed at delivery or deployment of the product, especially complex systems, to find out if everything works as it should after installation

The Test Plan template contains four stylish and professional slides. This template will be useful for software testers, engineers when testing new equipment, heads of institutes and laboratories, startups and innovators. If necessary, you can independently change the location and size of the infographic. Also, this template will be useful for design organizations and specialists in the implementation of innovations.
