Thus in project management, all the activities from staffing, requirement analysis to on time delivery and bugeting are covered.

Though the quality assurance plan template is missing from the question, I am assuming one template for the same consisting the below points :

1. Introduction : A quality assurance plan is a document, developed and managed by the project team, meant to ensure the deliverables are of the utmost quality. A quality assurance plan consists of a set of documented activities used to ensure for customer satisfaction with the services of a firm. The main activities of a Quality assurance plan can be given by PDCA cycle.There are four processes are: Plan, Do, Check, and Act. The quality assurance plan is used to define objectives, roles and responsibilities, and define tasks and the schedule.

• Risk Management;
• Deliverable Products;
• Roles and Responsibilities.

3. Project Description : It will contain the description about the project.

5. Test cases : The test cases will be placed here for different type of testing done by various teams or individuals. The result and proper evidence should also be maintained in this section. The testing team, their responsibility and the components tested by them should be mentioned here.
