Test plan is used to plan the testing process,to carry out testing with a process oriented approach and the testing process effectively.It decides the resources required ,types of tools to be used,types of tests to be conducted.An acceptance plan is derived from a test plan.

3. features to be tested and not to be tested. 
4. resources required. 
5. types of automation tools. 
6. Risks  
7. time estimation

The test plan prescribe the approach to be taken for intended test activities, identifying:  
1) the items to be tested,  
2) the testing to be performed,  
3) test schedules,  
4) resource and facility requirements,  
5) reporting requirements, 
6) evaluation criteria, 
7) risks requiring contingency measures.

Test Planning Activities
1. To determine scope and risks.
2. To define test strategies.
3. To integrate and coordinate test activities into SLC(software life cycle)
4. To make decisions on what to test and how results will be evaluated
5. To schedule test analysis and design.
6. To schedule test implementation and execution
7. To select metrics to monitor and control test preparation & defect resolution

    *Metrics helps assess progress against planned schedule & budget

The test plan document contains
1. Test objective
2. Test goal
3. Roles and responsibilities
4. Communication approach
5. Risk analysis
Aftr that we have test case design, test execution, test log preparation, defect tracking, report writing.
In case case design, we have test case id, test case name, test data, test action, expected result, actual result, test status.
In defect tracking we have defect id, defect description, test case id, seviority, priority

These are basic, but it may differ frm company to company


Updat me if I am incorrect

1) Introduction
   - Purpose
   - Product description
   - System architecture
2) Scope
   - Test coverage
   - Features to be tested (in scope)
   - Features not to be tested (out of scope)
   - Compatibility matrix
   - Assumptions
   - Risks
3) Approach
   - Test objectives
   - Test strategies
   - Test environment
   - System dependencies
   - Test tools
4) Process
   - Test process and guidelines
   - Priority and Severity definitions
   - Pass/fail criteria
   - Test entry/exit criteria
   - Test resources
   - Deliverables required for testing
   - Roles and responsibilities

A Plan enables you in advance to decide up on
1. How the objectives can be met
2. With the resources available
3. With the Time scale required.
4. To the Quality desired
5. While controlling the risks.

A Test Plan can be categorized into 6 clauses.
1. Scope (Includes Test Items, Features to be tested, Features not to be tested).
2. Resources(Includes Environmental Needs, Responsibilities and Staffing and Training Needs).
3. Time (Includes Testing Tasks, Schedules)
4. Quality (Includes Introduction, Approach, Items Pass/Fail criteria and Test Deliverables)
5. Risks (Include Suspension criteria/Resumption requirements and Risk Mitigation and Contingency Plan).
6. Plan Clauses (Include Test Plan Identifier and Approvals).
