How to create Test Plans

Description#

Importance of creating Test Plans#

Creating Test Plans is vital as it provides a detailed framework, delineating the testing objectives, methodologies, schedules, and resources needed to ensure efficient, systematic, and comprehensive testing of software applications. This formalized document acts as a guide, helping teams align on the testing goals, approach, and methodologies, ensuring thorough and effective testing practices, which, in turn, contribute to the delivery of high-quality software.

Steps#

  1. From the Menu Bar, go to the Testing then Plan option.

  1. Go to the Test Plan page.
  2. To create a Test Plan, click on the + NEW PLAN button.

    The +NEW Plan button initiates the creation of a new test plan, facilitating efficient organization and documentation of testing activities in software testing.

  1. Enter the Plan Name and Description.

    Entering the Plan Name and Description are necessary to provide a clear and descriptive outline of the testing project.
    The Plan Name serves as an identifier, helping testers and stakeholders quickly understand the purpose or focus of the testing effort.
    The Description offers detailed insights into the scope, objectives, and key features of the test plan, ensuring that all team members have a common understanding of the testing strategy.

  2. Click on the OK button.

  1. Click on the created Test Plan and add required Presets.

    Adding required Presets are necessary to establish standardized configurations, settings, and criteria, ensuring consistency, efficiency, and reliability across the testing process. Presets facilitates an uniform testing environment, reducing the likelihood of errors and streamlining the testing workflow by eliminating the need for manual configuration before each test. This practice not only enhances the repeatability of test scenarios but also promotes a cohesive testing approach. In summary, incorporating presets into the test plans is essential for maintaining a standardized, efficient, and error-resistant testing process in software development.

  1. Click on the Add tab of the Test Plan page.

  2. Select the required Presets.

    Selecting required Presets in test plans ensures a standardized, efficient, and error-resistant testing process by establishing consistent configurations and settings.

  3. To add the required Presets, click on the ADD SELECTED button.

  1. To see whether the required Presets have been added or not, click on the View tab of the Test Plan page.

  1. If it is required to edit the sequence of the Presets then click on the EDIT SEQUENCE button.

  1. If it is required to select all the Presets for the required Test Plan then click on the SELECT ALL button.
