Test planning is the most essential stage in the STLC. Planning gives test professionals the opportunity to build an understanding of the problem in terms of the complexity of requirements. This is achieved by analyzing the workflow based on the use cases, and then deriving the test cases from it.

The test plan then specifies how those items will be covered in the test by using several artifacts, including the test assignment, approach, and test strategy. The test strategy is a particularly important artifact of the test process.
We will cover different aspects of test planning and test strategy while understanding the relationship between the requirements and test plan. We will also look at how Jira can help us in defining and comparing strategies for our testing needs...
