Hello Sir. Hope you are doing well... I watched all your videos about Software Testing. Its Outstanding, Explanations, Details. Intro,... I learned a lot from you Sir... Big love respect and prayers from Lahore, Pakistan.
Thank you very much for the great video. I really love the way you explain each one in detail. It would be nicer if you can use a real time sample document to explain.
Good video, however you didn't explain very well what is the difference between test item and Features too be tested with good example, like you just mentioned Login Registration as Items to be tested at high level, so what features are to be tested , give example like you just did for items to be tested.

**Importance of Planning:**
- Like constructing a house, planning is vital in software testing to avoid mistakes and ensure a smooth testing process.
- A Test Plan provides guidelines for what and how to test in a structured manner.
**Key Sections in a Test Plan (Following IEEE Template):**
1. **Test Plan Identifier**: A unique document identifier for identifying the specific Test Plan.
2. **Introduction**: Provides an overview of the project and essential project details.
3. **Test Items**: Lists the features or requirements to be tested.
4. **Features to be Tested**: Elaborates on the features/modules mentioned in the "Test Items" section.
5. **Features Not to be Tested**: Defines areas that won't be tested, clarifying the scope.
6. **Test Approach**: Outlines how testing will be conducted, covering techniques, interfaces, test levels, etc.
7. **Item Pass and Fail Criteria**: Defines criteria for determining when an item passes or fails testing.
8. **Suspension and Resumption Criteria**: Outlines conditions for suspending or resuming testing.

**Significance of a Test Plan:**
- A well-structured Test Plan guides testing activities, ensuring critical aspects aren't overlooked.
- Essential for both Waterfall and Agile methodologies.

you did a great job. THANKS
Thanks for notes

Thank you Waseem, I am glad my work is helpful! Keep learning and sharing!Regards, Manish
Thank you so much. Do you have a test plan example for Agile please?
Thank you very much for such a detailed explanation. It helped me a lot. Your videos are very helpful. Keep up the good work
Thank you very much for the great video. I really love the way you explain each one in detail. It would be nicer if you can use a real time sample document to explain.
Great suggestion! Keep Watching and Sharing. Thank you!
Very helpful, can you please make a video on agile test plan with a live example than conceptual? Thanks
Thank you very much. Your way of explanation is super
No one will ever ask test plan related ques to even an experienced tester. It's very high level document.
Your videos are very nice and very helpful
Glad you like them!
Keep watching for more videos.
thank you so much for such a outstanding lecture....
Most welcome! Keep watching and sharing.
Great job. Please in a live project, what documents are needed to be able to write the test plan? Thanks
Thank you so much !! you are awesome..
Thank you sir
Such a great mentor with great teaching skills
Hi sir, you skipped use case testing, please upload that video
Thanks a lot Manish for such a great explanation. I had no questions left after your explanation.
Glad to hear that.
Keep watching for more videos!
Hi, Can we discuss more on Test Approach?
Thank you!
Hepled me lot 💜
Спасибо за видео ))))))
thanks
