Thats amazing. What you have given is correct. But for point 17 I think you missed out one important thing i.e., Assumptions then comes Risks if our assumptions fails and what is the Contingency plan for the risks. There is not test plan with out assumptions..since the company will have to face problem if they do not make assumptions in test plan. Plz correct me if i am worng. thanks
