1 Introduction
Brief introduction of the test strategies, process, workflow and methodologies used for the project

1.1 Scope

1.1.1 In Scope

Scope defines the features, functional or non-functional requirements of the software that will be tested

1.1.2 Out of Scope

Out Of Scope defines the features, functional or non-functional requirements of the software that will NOT be
tested

1.2 Quality Objective

Here make a mention of the overall objevtie that you plan to achive withou your testing

Some objectives of your testing project could be

 Ensure the Application Under Test conforms to functional and non-functional requirements
 Ensure the AUT meets the quality specifications defined by the client
 Bugs/issues are identified and fixed before go live

1.3 Roles and Responsibilities

Detail description of the Roles and responsibilities of different team members like

2 Test Methodology
2.1 Overview

Mention the reason of adopting a particular test methodology for the project. The test methodology
selected for the project could be
 WaterFall
 Iterative
 Agile
 Extreme Programming
The methodology selected depends on multiple factors. You can read about Test Methodology here

2.2 Test Levels

Test Levels define the Types of Testing to be executed on the Application Under Test (AUT). The Testing
Levels primarily depends on the scope of the project, time and budget constraints.

2.3 Bug Triage

The goal of the triage is to

 To define the type of resolution for each bug

Suspension criteria define the criteria to be used to suspend all or part of the testing procedure while
Resumption criteria determine when testing can resume after it has been suspended

2.5 Test Completeness

Here you define the criterias that will deem your testing complete.
For instance, a few criteria to check Test Completeness would be
 100% test coverage
 All Manual & Automated Test cases executed
 All open bugs are fixed or will be fixed in next release

3 Test Deliverables

Here mention all the Test Artifacts that will be delivered during different phases of the testing lifecycle.

Here are the sample deliverables

 Test Plan
 Test Cases
 Requirement Traceability Matrix
 Bug Reports
 Test Strategy
 Test Metrics
 Customer Sign Off

4 Resource & Environment Needs

4.1 Testing Tools

Make a list of Tools like

 Requirements Tracking Tool
 Bug Tracking Tool
 Automation Tools
Required to test the project
