Code, Build, Test, Deploy Part II... Outsourcing Development

When testing plan comes to mind, you need something to track it. There are some free tools out there like IssuesTracker, BugTracker etc. I have personally used bugtracker. It is very intuitive. Keep notes as you test so you will be able to refer to them when a problem occurs. The most important thing to tell the developer is what you did right before you saw a bug. This is very important in helping the programmer locate and correct issues. Keeping a log makes it really easy to track progress.

Bottom line is that test early, and often. Test everything on every build. Do some monkey testing. And always keep a log of your testing.
