None have addressed the last part of the question. I think Ginette meant "objective" of test plan and not objectif.

Test plan objectives:
1. Defining the activities required to prepare for and conduct system, acceptance usability, performance, integration and unit testing.
2. Communicate to all responsible parties the Test strategy employed.
3. Provide a basis for evaluating and improving testing process
4. List responsible parties and QA team
5. Detail test environment, conditions, pass/fail criteria, exit criteria, risk assessment.
6 Record, organize and guide testing activities
