High Level Document describing the scope. Identifies the test items, What will and will not be tested. Who will test what parts, what type of testing tools, and tests. Divides responsibilities and describes timelines.

Smallest piece of Documentation. Can be short as a few lines or can be as long as a few pages. It all depends on the team. It tracks software quality, defects, tracks progress, it unifies pass/fail to all testers.

• Test Case identifier
• Step of what needs to be tested

A build is after the Developer Codes in any language that is readable. In order for Computer to read it, it must be converted into Binary (zeros, and ones: 10100010101) Developers use programs that does this transfer called Compilation.
