**Notes: Test Plan vs. Test Strategy - Software Testing Tutorial #40** **Test Strategy:** - **Organizational Level:** Defined at the organizational level. - **High-Level Vision:** Provides a high-level vision for testing approaches and processes. - **Answers "Why" Questions:** Answers the "why" questions regarding testing approaches. - **Consistency Across Organization:** Designed to maintain consistency in testing practices across the organization. - **Stability:** Remains relatively stable and does not change frequently. **Test Plan:** - **Project Level:** Defined at the project level. - **Specific Approach:** Outlines the specific approach to testing for a particular project. - **Answers "How" Questions:** Answers the "how" questions related to testing execution. - **Project-Specific:** More detailed and includes project-specific information. - **Flexibility:** Can change frequently as more project details become available. **Relationship Between Test Strategy and Test Plan:** - **Reference Point:** Test plans refer to the overarching test strategy document. - **Common Understanding:** The test strategy provides a common understanding of testing practices, tools, and processes across the organization. - **Tailoring for Projects:** Projects use the test strategy as a reference point to create detailed test plans tailored to their specific needs. - **Elaboration:** Test plans elaborate on the strategy, including project-specific details such as test coverage, scheduling, resource allocation, and timelines. **Integration of Test Strategy and Test Plan:** - **Small Organizations:** In small organizations with one or two projects, a separate test strategy document may not be necessary. - **Combined Document:** In such cases, the test plan can include both project-specific details and high-level strategy. - **Large Organizations:** In larger organizations, maintaining a distinct test strategy document is beneficial to ensure consistency across various projects. **Conclusion:** - **Test Strategy:** The "why" document outlining the overarching testing approach for an organization. - **Test Plan:** The "how" document specifying the detailed testing approach for a particular project. - **Relationship:** Test plans draw from the test strategy, ensuring common practices and tools while adapting to project-specific requirements.

[@govindasharma8619]

Sir Congrats! You have explained some very confusing terms in easy to understand manner. Thanks a ton! Would you be creating a playlist on ISTQB Advanced certifications in the near future?

[@gurwinkle]

You have taken IBM. The IBM will be having many verticals which means they have a different strategies for every vertical. Then, the test plan is organised with the help of Test Architect for the Project. Lost! What are the various or set of Test Strategies IBM is having. Which are the Test Strategies used for BIMM tools like QIMM.

[@kaustavroy9119]

Could you please let me know which one should be written first - test plan or test strategy? I was asked this in an interview. I told "test plan is written first" which I think is wrong. Thank you.

[@shikhapal7995]

Sorry.. But I tried to understand and revisited But still its so confusing.. The diagram is really not easy to go with.

[@amitsingh-gr7mf]

Just one suggestion , when ever you are explaining things ,please don't cover the board . I'm not able to take the screenshot of these points.

[@libinscuk]

Man! The whole time you are covering 20% of the board trying to jump into the frame. I can't see shit written on the left side. But that said, the explanation was great.
