Exploratory testing to be only done once build is ready for testing.
Production like data is ready before we start functional testing i.e if it is a ecommerce website all data related to production be it item name ,images, price etc be ready so that we can test it.
UAT will be only performed by Department A and B
Scope of Testing-who tests what. How many modules are present how much testing is required and how much time it will take, What all functionalities we need to verify and how much testing is required.
Exploratory Testing
Purpose-Why (To see build is stable)
scope-Where to do exploratory testing (EX first level navigation etc)
Tester-Who does this testing
Method(Testing carried out without any test scripts etc)
Timing –When to begin testing
Functional Testing
Purpose-Why (To see if system meets user reqs)
scope-Where to do functional testing (EX all the pages etc)
Tester-Who does this testing
Method(Testing carried out using written test cases etc)
Timing –When to begin testing
Methods(How)-Based on test procedures defined in ALM
Timings-When to do what
Milestones-Important dates when start and to finish what.Usually kept in a separate excel sheet whose link is given in test plan doc.
Types of Testing Start date End date

Non Functional Testing 22 oct 25 oct
Test deliverables
Item Author
Test plan-Project Manager

Defect Logging-QA team
Effort Estimation-Amount of effort required for Func non func testing etc
Entry exit criteria
Use case-It will tell us how a particular fnc is going to ne used and who is *actors is going to use it.
Typical Test Approaches
Analytical
Risk based and requirements based
Model based-Failure based(Error guessing)
Checklist based
Quality characteristics based
Process-IEEE Standard
Dynamic based-Error guessing
Exploratory Testing
Factors for defining test strategy
Risk hazard and safety
Available resources
Test objectives-Example to find as defects as possible in small amount of time use exploratory testing
Test Planning and Estimation
What ,when ,how when whom etc.
