Test Plans
Combine relevant test cases into a defined scope and preserve each execution as traceable evidence.
Define the scope of a test cycle
A test plan combines the test cases that are relevant for one release, acceptance decision, regression cycle or other defined objective. It makes the intended scope visible before execution starts.
Keep reusable test case specifications separate from their concrete runs. Each execution can then retain its own status, observations and result while the underlying cases remain available for later cycles.
A useful plan explains what is included, why it is being tested and which completion criteria apply.
Plan before execution
- Select cases from requirements and risks, not only from habit.
- Define the intended environment and test data.
- State completion and acceptance criteria.
- Keep postponed or excluded scope visible.
- Evaluate results against the plan after execution.
