Can you discuss some of the elements which make up test plans?
When you provide an answer to an interviewer's question, you should be prepared to dig deeper into the topic. Interviewers will ask questions ranging from very casual to very in-depth. These depend on the specific topic and how important it is to the organization's operations you are interviewing with. The best way to prepare for an interview is to review the job posting to completely understand the requirements and duties you are expected to perform. You should also research the organization and learn as much as you can about its operations. Sources for this information include their website, current and former employees, and industry publications. The more you know about the organization, the better prepared you will be for the interview.
"While every quality assurance test plan is unique and contains different elements, some of the ones common to most plans include: the reason for testing, the test environment, the QA objectives, the scope of the testing, triggers for testing, the deliverables the quality assurance organization is committing to, and any risk factors the QA team needs to be aware of. Detailing these items in the test plan prepares the quality assurance team and enables them to deliver the results the organization expects."
