Identifying Test Objectives
Functionality
Ensure that all features and functionalities of the software operate as intended.

Performance
Evaluate the software's performance under various loads and conditions,
including speed, responsiveness, and stability.

Security
Test the software's security mechanisms to identify vulnerabilities and ensure
data protection.

Usability
Evaluate the software's ease of use and user experience to ensure it is
intuitive and user-friendly.
Defining Test Strategies
Black Box Testing
Focuses on testing the software's functionality
without knowing its internal structure or code.

White Box Testing


Involves examining the software's internal
structure and code to ensure it functions as
intended.

Grey Box Testing


Combines aspects of both black box and white box
testing, utilizing limited knowledge of the
software's internal workings.

Review and Refine


Regularly review the test plan and make necessary adjustments to ensure its effectiveness
and relevance.

Documentation
Maintain comprehensive documentation of the test plan, including test cases, test results,
and defect reports.

Collaboration
