How to Prepare a Test Plan?

The test plan act as major part for the execution,tracking and reporting the entire testing project and covers:

1. First we need a clear identification of what will be tested,what not be tested and scope of testing. 
2. Next the testing will break into small and Possible tasks.
3. what resources are needed for testing human or computer.
4. They have certain time line to complete the testing activities.

Scope management:

1. Features to be tested:

• whatever the features which need to be tested it will listed.

2. Features not be tested:

• The help file prepared by a technical writer or document writer will be review by another technical writer and it should not tested by the testing engineer.
• If one application having the multiple modules test engineer or test manger partition the modules and features to be tested.so one test manager need not write the application from the another managers tested module.
• Application is integrated with a 3rd party application and check whether the data flow between them is know as system integration testing.

3. Testing Task:

• The Estimation happens in three phases that are:
• Size estimation
• Effort estimation
• Schedule estimation
• Size estimation it quantifies the actual amount of testing that needs to be done.
• Effort estimation Effective variance= Estimated time - Actual time *100/Estimated time.
• Schedule estimation Schedule is nothing but a time between the development of cycle
