Many of us experienced that Test Plan document is loosing its significance. Stakeholder review it and the document is just selfed as we progress in Test execution, bug fixing etc. Then why we write Plan document.
Diffrent people have diffrent opinions on maintaining Test plan document to create more value. I have collected few points here, these are points taken from experienced people in Dev, Test and PM discipline.
1. Test Document should be Crisp and To the point, not a boring book of change of Texts.
2. Make your stakeholders believe how religiously you follow and update Test plan document.
3. Highlight Risk and Mitigation plan clearly and update it regularly as you progress during testing cycle.
4. Test strategy should be clearly mentioned and should be tracked.
5. Provide links of test plan in other project documents, so that stakeholders will not forget it.
6. For any change ask stakeholders to approve modified test plan.
7. Present Test plan during diffrent project discussion.
These are some of important points i hear when i discussed about keeping test plan document alive.
Your thoughts highly appreciated.
