Test Plan is a document describing the scope, approach,
resources and schedule of testing activity. It identifies
the test items, features to be tested, who will do each
task and risk requiring contingency planning.

the objectives, scope, approach, and focus of a software
testing effort. It should be thorough enough to be useful

read it. The following are some of the items that might be
included in a test plan, depending on the particular
project:

approvals
