Functional Test Plan Template

Author(s): Adrian Biljan , Jacqueline Hewitt , Altaz Valani

This template has been developed to provide some guidance in the development of a functional test plan. An application's functional test plan defines how functional testing will be completed and is only one part of a complete application testing strategy.

The template contains sections to detail the following aspects of the test plan:

  • Functional testing goals.
  • Testing team and their assignments.
  • The scope of the testing effort.
  • The testing methodology that will be employed.
  • The metrics that will be collected.

For more information on functional testing, refer to the associated Info-Tech Advisor research note, “Functional Testing Ensures Correct Requirements Implementation.”
