Message

   Obtain requirements, functional design, and internal design
 specifications and other necessary documents
Obtain budget and schedule requirements
Determine project-related personnel and their responsibilities,
 reporting requirements, required standards and processes
 (such as release processes, change processes, etc.)
Determine project context, relative to the existing quality 
culture of the organization and business, and how it might impact
testing scope, aproaches, and methods.
Identify application's higher-risk aspects, set priorities,
 and determine scope and limitations of tests
Determine test approaches and methods - unit, integration, functional,
 system, load, usability tests, etc.
Determine test environment requirements (hardware, software,
 communications, etc.)
Determine testware requirements (record/playback tools, coverage
 analyzers, test tracking, problem/bug tracking, etc.)
Determine test input data requirements
Identify tasks, those responsible for tasks, and labor
 requirements
Set schedule estimates, timelines, milestones
Determine input equivalence classes, boundary value analyses,
 error classes
Prepare test plan document and have needed reviews/approvals
Write test cases
Have needed reviews/inspections/approvals of test cases
Prepare test environment and testware, obtain needed user
 manuals/reference documents/configuration guides/installation
 guides, set up test tracking processes, set up logging and
 archiving processes, set up or obtain test input data
Obtain and install software releases
Perform tests
Evaluate and report results
Track problems/bugs and fixes
Retest as needed
Maintain and update test plans, test cases, test environment,
 and testware through life cycle
