Consequently this post came to me on holiday.
There are many things that should be considered when managing testing and one of the most important is the issue of resources. Even when you think you have it all done and everything scheduled into the correct deadlines there is always something that will change. It might be that someone goes off sick... it might be that you missed that someone was going on holiday or even some family berevement. The long and short of it is that your plans must be flexible and should even when tight deadlines are being worked to hold a measure of contingency. If you cannot have any contingency then your testing should be planned in a way that you know what all the high priority test cases are that absolutely must be covered.
This will mean that even for emergency changes you can have a good measure of assurance that the system will function as desired.
