in reply to Unit Tests and Creative Tension
Iam just thinking if creation of these failing tests can be associated with the Test Plan. If there is a way by which given the test suite we can generate a Test plan on the fly with some templates, it will be a great time saver. Also it reduces the frustration every developer has to go through from the 'Quality' department.
Any thoughts.

Test Plans are usually about either acceptance tests or high-level functional tests. Unit tests are usually about implementation details. At the time the Test Plan is written, it's rare that the team knows enough about implementation details to specify in any detail what the unit tests will look like.
Having good unit tests does make it less likely that QA will find bugs.
