Topic: Project Plans and IEEE 829

The 16 clauses of the IEEE 829 test plan standard are:
1. Test plan identifier.
2. Introduction.
3. Test items.
4. Features to be tested.
5. Features not to be tested.
6. Approach.
7. Item pass/fail criteria.
8. Suspension criteria and resumption requirements.
9. Test deliverables.
10. Testing tasks.
11. Environmental needs.
12. Responsibilities.
13. Staffing and training needs.
14. Schedule.
15. Risks and contingencies.
16. Approvals.
These can be matched against the five characteristics of a basic plan, with a couple left over that form part of the plan document itself.
