SCHEDULES:

This section contains – when exactly each activity should start and end? Exact date should be mentioned and for every activity, date will be specified.


 
Time Management


Thus, as we can see from the above figure – for every specified activity, there will be a starting date and closing date. For every build, there will be a specified date. For every type of testing for each build, there will be a specified date


DEFECT TRACKING:


In this section, we mention – how to communicate the defects found during testing to the development team and also how development team should respond to it. We should also mention the priority of the defect – high, medium, low.


1. Procedure to track the defect

    ….
    ….
    ….
    ….

2. Defect tracking tool

    We mention the name of the tool we will be using to track the defects


3. Severity
           
            3.1 Blocker(or Showstopper)
                   ….
                   …. (define it with an example in the test plan)
                   For ex, there will be bug in the module. We cannot go and test the other modules because                      this blocker has blocked the other modules.
           
            3.2 Critical
                   …
                   … (define it with an example)
                   Bugs which affects the business is considered critical

            3.3 Major
                   …
                   … (Define it with an example)
                   Bugs which affects look and feel of the application is considered as major
           
            3.4 Minor
                   …
                   … (Define it with an example)

4. Priority

            4.1 High – P1
            …
           
            4.2 Medium – P2
            …
           
            4.3 Low – P3
            …
            …
            …              P4

So, depending on the priority of the defect(high, medium or low), we classify it as P1, P2, P3, P4.
