What Are The Major Tasks In Software Test Planning And Software Test Controlling?

Test planning is the activity of verifying the mission of testing, defining the objectives of testing and the specification of test activities in order to meet the objectives and mission.
Test control is the ongoing activity of comparing actual progress against the plan, and reporting the status, including deviations from the plan. It involves taking actions necessary to meet the mission and objectives of the project. In order to control testing, it should be monitored throughout the project. Test planning takes into account the feedback from monitoring and control activities.

Test planning has the following major tasks:
1- Determining the scope and risks, and identifying the objectives of testing.
2- Determining the required test resources (e.g. people, test environment, PCs).
3- Implementing the test policy and/or the test strategy.
4- Scheduling test analysis and design tasks.
5- Scheduling test implementation, execution and evaluation.
6- Determining the exit criteria.

Test control has the following major tasks:
1- Measuring and analysing results;
2- Monitoring and documenting progress, test coverage and exit criteria;
3- Initiation of corrective actions;
4- Making decisions.
