A test plan is a written description of the general strategy, goals, parameters, and resources needed to test a software system. It acts as a guide for the testing procedures to be followed throughout a particular project or release. An organized test strategy makes ensuring that testing is systematic, thorough, and in line with project objectives.
A test plan provides a clear roadmap and guidance for the testing activities to be carried out. It outlines the objectives, scope, and strategies for testing, helping the testing team understand what needs to be tested and how to approach the testing process. It provides direction to testers, ensuring that they focus on the right areas and prioritize their efforts effectively.
