performed by another team. However, a Test Plan (TP) may describe all of the testing activities, even if portions are performed by different groups. Other sets of plans are permissible so long as each plan descries a coherent and cohesive view of the activities to be performed. Plans may be organized in a layered fashion such that a higher level plan is implemented by lower level plans. For example, the TP could be a higher level plan that would be implemented by lower level plans, specific to particular teams (i.e., the SVVP includes the testing activities performed by the SVVT, and the software development plan includes the testing activities performed by the software development team, with testing activities being coordinated by the TP). Plans other than those defined in this BTP should still contain all of the required information and meet all of the acceptance criteria in this BTP. Acceptance criteria are divided into three sets: management characteristics, implementation characteristics, and resource characteristics. Each of these is further divided into specific characteristics, as shown in the following table. Not all specific characteristics occur for every plan. Management Implementation Resource Characteristics Characteristics Characteristics Purpose Measurement Budget Organization Procedures Methods/tools Oversight Record keeping Personnel Responsibilities Schedule Standards Risks Security BTP 7.14-13 Revision 6 - August 2016 All planning documents should be evaluated for the following process characteristics: consistency, style, traceability, unambiguity and verifiability. Consistency - Each plan should be internally consistent, and the complete set of plans should be mutually consistent. Style - Plans should be documented so that they can be understood both by the users of the plan and by the reviewers. Traceability - The software management plan should be traceable back to system management planning; the remaining software plans should be traceable
