A Test Strategy is a high-level plan outlining the approach for testing activities within a software application or system project. It defines objectives, resources, methods and timelines for achieving quality assurance goals.
Key Elements:
- Testing objectives aligned with project goals
- Types of testing to be conducted (manual, automated)
- Resource allocation (team roles, tools)
- Risk management approach
- Metrics for measuring success
A well-defined test strategy guides teams in executing effective testing processes.
