1.) Planning and Control : Like other things, the first step is planning and if proper documentation has been done , half of the things are done. We write Test Plan to organize and manage the testing efforts.The structure , format, and level of detail are determined not only by what's best for the effectiveness of the testing effort but also by what a customer or regulating agency wants. A test plan is a valuable tool to the extent that it helps you manage your testing project and find bugs. Beyond that, it is a diversion of resources. A good Test documentation provides three major benefits;
- It facilitates the technical tasks of testing.
- It improves communication about testing tasks and process.
- It provides structure for organizing , scheduling and managing the testing project.
