How to write test cases – For new breed
testers:
Hi, again…this time we are
going to make you understand the Set of steps, conditions, and inputs involves
in test cases that can be used while performing testing tasks. The main intent
of the test cases is to ensure whether a software application or web
application passes or fails in terms of its functionality, requirement and
other aspects. There are many types of test cases such as UI test cases,
functional test cases, logical test cases, negative test cases, error test
cases, etc.
Test cases keep the track
of the testing coverage of a software application .There are some components
included in every test cases.
- Product name
- Product module
- Product version
- Test case ID
- Test case objective
- Steps
- Test data
- Expected result
- Actual result
- Status
- QA(Quality Assurance) queries
Many test
cases can be derived from a single test scenario. Single software has multiple
test cases and collection of test cases known as test suites. Test cases are
written accordingly to client requirement and specifications.
Sample of testing:-
Basics of Writing Test Cases:
1.
The test cases are all about “How we are going to test a requirement”.
For example,
If the test scenario is “Validate the User login functionality” – This scenario
have 3 test cases or conditions –
Login-successful, Login-unsuccessful when wrong username is entered, Login-unsuccessful
when wrong password is entered. Each test case has many steps to address how we
can check a particular test condition is satisfied or not.
2.
Create a test case document is functional requirement document (FRD).
Test scenarios created in the earlier step and any other documents if present.
3.
The test cases documentation is an important part of the
software testing and created by the QA team and is shared to Project Manager (PM)
and other team members.
4.
Work is divided among the team members and each member is going
to be responsible for creating test cases for a module or a part of a module.
5.
Study the test scenarios, before we begin Test case
documentation, a common template used by the QA team. There are two templates
used for test case writing such as MS Excel and MS word. The MS Excel template mostly used by the
testers.
