How do you write the test plan?

The template that defines the test file in IEEE standard 829 should look like, you can find a template from many places

But many people will say after reading this is too complex, there is no simple way, even do not have enough time to do things, which have time to write such a long document . I think it's not important to follow this template, it's important to consider the following

1. What do you want to test

That is, what defines the target of the test . sometimes some people will be wrong to test the target object, obviously to be measured by your system, but it is measured by the system used by the platform or database. Sometimes it's not the first thing you have to deal with, but you're always looking for their problems .

2. What do you want to test?

List the features you want to test. This is very intuitive, but in some cases, perhaps some of the old features, or not this time to pay attention to the focus, you can be in this test first ignore them .  but first and the relevant stakeholders to confirm clearly .

3. How are you going to test it?

You need to describe your test strategy . like the scope , the unit or the integration or end to end, the tool, whether to automate, which things to test first ... and so on .

4. When to test

It's about when you're going to do something . When to plan, when to open a case, when to execute a case, when to return to the test, etc.

5. conditions to enter the test

Not just write a corpse can be tested, developers should be responsible for their own writing, prepare the appropriate documents, or after appropriate review and so on . in short, define some guidelines that need to be passed before you can start testing.

6. conditions that can end the test

You need to define what conditions are met and the test is finished . like there is no serious bug, the average trouble-free time to a certain range, or the original planned test project has been measured, the performance has reached a certain level ... and so on .

I think if your plan has been able to answer these questions, I think it is not important to follow the standard template . because you've taken all the important things into consideration .
