What is a test plan?

Anyone who is new to the QA world may be wondering, what is a test plan. This is a fundamental question, and it is important that we define it. A test plan is a document that details the processes, coverage, resources, objectives, and schedule for testing a software product. The test plan is essentially the blueprint for all of the testing efforts that will take place. It makes sure that the software meets all of the requirements asked of it. And finally, a test plan gives a clear visual to any outside user such as a client of what the application has been tested for.
