Instead, they were emphasizing that you should put your time into testing than working on the test plan. Your Project Manager asked for your opinion. You have argued that Test Plan is very important and you need to update your test plan from time to time. It is not a waste of time and testing activities would be more effective when you have your plan clear. Use some metrics. How you would support your argument to have the test plan consistently updated all the time.
13. The QAI is starting a project to put the CSTE certification online. They will use an automated process for recording candidate information, scheduling candidates for exams, keeping track of results and sending out certificates.

15. What happens to the test plan if the application has a functionality not mentioned in the requirements?

    Ans 1.
    we start testing as soon we got a single rquirment. first we create a SRS doc.then we write manual testcase on it.
    why-- bcoz in requirment there so many chances of defects. to by testing the rquirment we ensure that the there is no defect in reqirment..which should be not carry later.
