Submit, close, or reopen a test plan

After all activities on a test plan are completed, it needs to be submitted for a final approval and then closure.

A Test Plan goes through the following statuses:

  • Draft - When a test plan is created, it is initially in Draft status. It can be edited to ensure that all the required details are captured and the right participants are selected.
  • Not Started - Once activated, the status changes to Not Started.
  • In Progress - If any activity on the test plan is started, the status of the test plan changes to In Progress.
  • Submitted - After all activities are completed, the test plan can be submitted for final approval.
  • Closed - If all activities have been completed as required, the test plan can be closed. 

Tip!
