In brief a test plan should have the following sections in which the Methodology section will cover the test coverage Matrix with the approximate amount time expected to finish the test cases covered in this test plan. 1.Purpose 2.Scope 3. Methodology 4.Risks and Contingencies 5. References 6 Appendices
Test Strategy features to be tested features not to be tested hardware software risk and contingency test deliverables schedules test environment reference and approval.

test plan is a plan which is used for testing process. in this document we determine the 1.test strategy. 2. the scope of the testing. 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 plan is a document that describes objective scope approach and focus of a software testing effort. usually test plan consists of: 1. History 2. Introduction 3. Features to be tested 4. Features not be tested 5. Time schedule 6. Resources 7. Test deliverables 8. Approvals etc.
Test Plan Contains the following. 1 - a .what to test. b. what not to test. 2. how to test. 3. who will test. 4.when to test(time schedule). 5.h/w s/w requirements. 6.Risk and contingencies 7.Approvals.
Test Plan is a big document that contains all the information about your project objectives scopes roles and responsibilities test-set(set of test cases) test -bed(types of testing execution environment) test-strategy schedules etc.
