5. Features Not To Be Tested

There are three key sections for defining the SCOPE of a Test Plan: 3. Test Items, 4. Features to be Tested, and 5. Features not to be Tested.

Within "5. Features Not To Be Tested" you define which of the features of the system or sub-system will NOT be testing. This is necessary so as to avoid later confusion when stakeholders thought something would be tested, but was not.
