6 Steps to Write Test Case

What Is Test Case:

A test case is a written artifact that details particular actions or events used to evaluate a software product against a set of criteria.

Test case’s components:

  • The ID of the Test Case.

  • Features or functionalities that need testing.

  • Test Scenario

  • Test Data

  • Details of the test environment

  • Procedures for Execution

  • Expected Result

  • Actual Result

  • Pass/Fail

  • Comments/Attachments.

How to Write Test Case

  • Identifying the Goal & Scope of the Test

  • Test Activities Definition

  • Establish a test framework

  • Understanding Software Module

  • Design Test Case

  • Assign Test Priority

Software testing is a crucial step in the development process, as it helps ensure that a product is free of bugs and meets the specified requirements. One of the best ways to ensure comprehensive testing is to write clear and concise test cases. In this article, we will outline the steps for writing effective software testing test cases.

  1. Understand the requirement: Before you start writing test cases, it is important to understand the requirements of the product. Read through the project documentation, user stories, and requirements to get a clear picture of what needs to be tested.

  2. Determine the objectives: Next, determine the objectives of the testing process. What are the goals of the testing? What do you want to achieve with the test cases? Having clear objectives will help you focus your testing efforts and ensure that all necessary tests are covered.

  3. Identify test scenarios: Based on the objectives and requirements, identify the different scenarios that need to be tested. Consider all possible combinations of inputs, conditions, and actions that need to be tested.

  4. Write the test cases: Once you have identified the test scenarios, write the test cases in a clear and concise manner. Include the following information: test case ID, description, steps, expected result, and actual result.

  5. Prioritize test cases: Prioritize the test cases based on their importance and the risk involved. High-risk scenarios should be tested first, followed by medium-risk scenarios, and finally low-risk scenarios.

  6. Review and update test cases: Regularly review and update the test cases to ensure they remain relevant and up-to-date. Test cases may need to be updated as requirements change or new features are added.

In conclusion, writing clear and concise software testing test cases is essential for ensuring comprehensive testing and the delivery of a high-quality product. By following these steps, you can ensure that your testing efforts are focused and effective.

Tips for writing the Test Case: Dos and Don’ts

Do’s

  1. It must be clear, concise, and easy to understand.

  2. The user’s perspective must be taken into account.

  3. A user of the traceability matrix.

  4. Give each test case an ID to manage and track the requirements and bugs.

  5. Try to create test cases that are independent, reusable, and repeatable.

Dont’s

  1. Do not include redundant or pointless test execution steps.

  2. Never consider or assume any needs without contacting the SRS or BRS.

  3. Avoid writing redundant test cases.

  4. Don’t forget to have the Developer Team review the Test Cases.
