    Posted: 02Apr2007 at 2:17am

Test plans, also called test protocol, are formal documents that typically outline requirements, activities, resources, documentation and schedules to be completed. Some form of test plan should be developed prior to any test.   

The key reasons for developing test plans are:  

  • Preparation: To assure that all reasonable aspects of running a test have been considered.
  • Communication and Training: To train those who need to assist with the test.
  • Effectiveness: To provide a mechanism for outlining test needs, limitations (listing assumptions), and justification for purposes of setting expectations, acquiring resources, investigating unexpected results, assuring normalcy and effectiveness.
  • Legal and Regulatory Prudence: To enable replication and protection of discoveries made, to mitigate potential litigation costs from use of those discoveries, and to help provide evidence to show regulatory bodies of efficacy.
