Study Notes

Software Testing - Test Cases

  • Software testing involves a set of actions performed on a system to verify if it meets the required software requirements and functions correctly.
  • The purpose of testing is to determine if system features perform as expected, confirming compliance with standards, guidelines, and customer requirements.

Test Plan vs. Test Case

  • Test Plan: A high-level document for the entire project, designed for broad overview by many people. It outlines the testing schedule, personnel, scope, and potential risks.
  • Test Case: Detailed, low-level instructions for individual tests, specifying how each test should be conducted.

Test Case Types

  • Functionality test cases
  • Unit test cases
  • Performance test cases
  • Database test cases
  • User interface test cases
  • Integration test cases
  • Security test cases
  • Usability test cases

Test Case Information

  • Test cases include everything needed for execution, including:
    • Test environment (optional)
    • Test data
    • Expected outcomes
    • Test status

Test Case Content

  • A unique test case identifier
  • A brief description of the test's purpose
  • Any assumptions or preconditions required before execution
  • Test data required to execute the test
  • Steps to conduct the test
  • Expected results
  • Actual results obtained during the test
  • Whether the test passed or failed

Test Case Example (Functionality)

  • ID: TF001
  • Description: Login test
  • Precondition: Database implementation
  • Steps:
    1. Go to login page
    2. Enter username (user=John)
    3. Enter password (passwd=secret)
    4. Click "Login"
  • Test Data: user=John, passwd=secret
  • Expected Results: Successful login
  • Actual Results: (Filled in during testing)
  • Pass/Fail: (Determined based on actual results)

Test Suite Example (Unit)

  • Example of a unit test suite, showing various test IDs, descriptions, preconditions, and steps (data not fully displayed).
