1. PlanCreate a test plan specific to a level of testing:

• Emphasize on the application of the testing schema and create project plan on test levels

• Include scope of testing and assumptions in your test plan

QA Engineers should be involved from the initial stage of Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) to

• Help both developers and testers to understand and be in sync on the expected results.
