Introduction

The standard test process includes the test plan, test design, test execution, and test report.

• In the test plan and test design stages, you should specify the test scope and objectives, formulate test policy, prepare test tools and test environments, establish test models, design test cases, and develop automated testing scripts.
• A test plan specifies the test time, scope, and objectives, and manages all test activities. It can be specific to a version, iteration, or project.

This chapter describes how to manage test plans from the following aspects:

• Creating and Editing a Test Plan
• Designing and Executing a Test Plan
• Managing and Measuring a Test Plan
