Test Strategy

Test strategy is “How we plan to cover the product so as to develop an adequate assessment of quality.”

A good test strategy is: Specific, Practical, Justified.

The purpose of a test strategy is to clarify the major tasks and challenges of the test project. Test Approach and Test Architecture are other terms commonly used to describe what I’m calling test strategy. It describes what kind of testing needs to be done for a project for ex: user acceptance testing, functional testing, load testing, performance testing etc.
