Test Plan

Noun · Development

Definitions

  1. A document that specifies the scope, approach, resources, schedule, and pass/fail criteria for testing a particular feature or release, serving as the contract between QA and the rest of the team on what will actually be validated.

    In plain English: A written plan that lays out exactly what will be tested, how, and what counts as passing.

    Example: "Before we ship the migration, the test plan needs sign-off from QA and the DBA."
