- Dependencies on the software,
- Organize the parts which have been testing and which need testing, by which we wouldnt miss out any areas,
- Human Resource planning which is very important and assigning responsibilites helps us complete testing on schedule,
- An architectural overview of the application and testing approach,
- The risks associated with the applications and also the prerequisites for testing the applications.
