Writing Test Plans Made Easy Many of the testers working for me had trouble writing test plans. Most of them were either suffering from writers block, or were struggling with how to represent their testing ideas. I found a simple, fast, outline based format helped my testers get ideas on paper quickly that were easy to understand and review. I share that approach in this book. Buy a paperback or Kindle copy for you, a friend, or your whole team on Amazon. Also available as a PDF on Gumroad.
