Test Plan
Test Environment or Test Bed is an execution environment configured for testing. It may consist of specific hardware, OS, network topology, configuration of the product under test, other application or system software, test tools, etc. The Test Plan for a project should enumerated the test beds(s) to be used.

Test Case Specification
The Test Case is a specification of criteria that need to be met in order to consider some system feature, set of features or Use Case as working. It is the smallest unit of testing and is sometimes colloquially referred as Test. It should include a description of the functionality to be tested, and the preparation required to ensure that the test can be conducted. A single test case is sometimes associated with several requirements. It may be partially or fully automated.
A formal written test case is characterised by a known preconditions, input and expected output and postconditions, which are worked out before the execution. The test case may comprise of a single or several steps that are necessary to assess the tested functionality.
For a system without preexisting formal requirements, the test cases can be written based on system’s desired or usual operation, or operation of similar systems. In this case, they may be a result of decomposition of a high-level scenario, which is a story or setting description used to explain the system and its operation to the tester. Alternatively, test cases may be omitted altogether and replaced with scenario testing, which substitutes a sequence or group of Test Cases, as they may be hard to precisely formulate and maintain with the evolution of the system.
Test Suite is a collection of Test Cases that are related to the same testing work in terms of goals and associated testing process. There may be several Test Suites for a particular system, each one grouping together many Test Cases based on corresponding goal and functionality or shared preconditions, system configuration, associated common actions, execution sequence of actions or Test Cases, or reporting requirements.
An individual Test Suite may validate whether the system complies with the desired set of behaviors or fulfills the envisioned purpose or associated Use Cases, or be associated with different phases of system lifecycle, such as identification of regressions, build verification, or validation of individual components.
A Test Case can be included into several Test Suites. If Test Cases descriptions are organised along Test Suites, the overlapping cases should be documented within their primary Test Suites and referenced elsewhere.
