This is how a Test
Plan document looks like,
In the 1st
page – we initially fill in only
version(write as Draft 1.0), author, comments and reviewed by. Later on when
the manager approves it, we fill in the Approved by and approval date and also
remove (Draft) written in version column.
Generally Test
Engineers only review it and the test plan is approved by Test Manager.
When new features
come, we modify the Test Plan. Change the version and whichever features need
to be changed. Again it is reviewed, updated and approved by manager. Test Plan
must be updated whenever changes happen.
