Project plan has all details of project scheduling and dates of code completion and code freeze which helps to make testing iterative cycles which needs to be mentioned  in the test plan.Also in project plan tetsing is autmated or manual is to be finalized, if automated tools are evaluated and mentione din the test team plan.

                    Project plan essentially depends upon the test plan.While creating testcases and defects tracking project plan plays a vital role.In WaterFlow model or the iretative model finding and solving the errors happens in a cyclic process.

Test Plan is a part of Total Project Plan. As some of my friends mentioned above, Project plan will give the complete picture of total Project execution details including schedule, effort needed, resource planning, risk analysis, software requirement, release details etc. This gives us a scope and road map to prepare Test Plan. Overall idea here is to finish the testing activities, my going through some of the metrics like test case coverage etc, so that the product/project reaches to market as per the schedule mentioned in the Project Plan.

In Simple terms:

Project plan is the superset of Test plan

Project plan ( i mean Integrated project plan contains the planning details of all other related plans e.g. scope plan, time plan, cost plan, quality plan, HR /Staffing plan, Risk plan, Purchase and procurement plan,Configuration management plan, CHnage management plan etc etc.)
and all these plans are interrelated to eachother directly/indectly.

Testing is one of the phase in SDLC which needs planning and  also can be a part of Project plan-Quality plan.

Basic things can be necesssary and can be collected from Project plan  to prepare a effective test plan::

Scope of the project
Objective of the project
project Constraints
project  Assumptions
project  Risk
project  Schedule
project  Bugget/cost of the project
project  Available resource
quality objectives of the project
Organizational testing process/guideline/methodology/metrics/checklist etc from quality plan
Avaiable resource(specific HW,S/W. tool etc..)

etc etc
So to prepare a effective Test plan, Project plan plays a major role..
