Welcome to the next episode in our new series “Integrating testing into your development flow”. Today we are going to be looking at “How to Define and Implement a Test Plan”.

In our last presentation, we discussed how to design and build a Test Strategy document. Now that that document is ready, it is time to start writing the detailed Test Plan and continue further phases of testing. In plan, we will deal with the details of the overall test coverage. Including things like features to be tested, features not to be tested, estimation, scheduling and resource management.

Not only will we be covering all the individual points in the test plan and their meaning, but we will also actually be looking at two real-world examples of how this plan is implemented and can differ between organizations. Finishing off with some excellent Q&A from our viewers as to how to approach implementing these plans in their organizations.
