How to write a simplistic functional test plan?

Question

I was given an assignment and it is fairly simple, just a special type of search for a special type of objects.

However, I was told to implement a set of functional tests and also provide a 1 page test plan. However, I am not sure what this plan has to include.

I have searched for samples on-line but they are too large for the scope of this assignment since it is supposed to be 1 page only.

I implemented 16 tests using JUnit, they test the expected results that a search produces.

You can include the following in form of a table: Item number - this is pretty much of 1,2,3,4.... (Just Basic numbering). Or if your program consists of a menu with numbers, you can use that as your numbers.

Item tested - these is about what item you are testing. E.g. You have a menu in a program, so these are the menu options like if you are adding a member for a certain organisation, the item tested will be for "Add Member"

Test Method - What are the methods you used while testing the program... E.g. Enter the menu number and click 'OK'

Expected Result - What do you expect to happen when you run the program.. like in these case, you want to add a member so the expected result for this would be 'Program add Member or Member added successfully'

Actual result - You can use ticks and crossed for these.

Hope these helps.
