Thanks for the reply Adam. From the mail I concluded the feedback as ::
1. Modify the name of the test plan as 
"QA:Allow_turning_off_vattr_lookup_Test_Plan"
2. Break it down in 6 different test plans for each individual test case.

I will work on it and incorporate the review comments.

Regards,
Ami
