TEST PLAN GUIDELINES

TEST PLAN GUIDELINES:

  • Make the plan concise. Avoid redundancy and superfluousness. 
  • If you think you do not need a section that has been mentioned in the template above, go ahead and delete that section in your test plan.
  • Be specific. For example, when you specify an operating system as a property of a test environment, mention the OS Edition/Version as well, not just the OS Name.
  • Make use of lists and tables wherever possible. Avoid lengthy paragraphs.
  • Have the test plan reviewed a number of times prior to baselining it or sending it for approval. 
  • The quality of your test plan speaks volumes about the quality of the testing you or your team is going to perform.
  • Update the plan as and when necessary. An out-dated and unused document stinks and is worse than not having the document in the first place.
