Writing effective test cases is a skill and that can be achieved by some experience and in-depth study of the application on which test cases are being written.
Here I will share some tips on how to write test cases, test case procedures and some basic test case definitions.
What is a test case?
“A test case has components that describes an input, action or event and an expected response, to determine if a feature of an application is working correctly.” Definition by Glossary
There are levels in which each test case will fall in order to avoid duplication efforts.
Level 1: In this level you will write the basic test cases from the available specification and user documentation.
Level 2: This is the practical stage in which writing test cases depend on actual functional and system flow of the application.
Level 3: This is the stage in which you will group some test cases and write a test procedure. Test procedure is nothing but a group of small test cases maximum of 10.
Level 4: Automation of the project. This will minimize human interaction with system and thus QA can focus on current updated functionalities to test rather than remaining busy with regression testing.
So you can observe a systematic growth from no testable item to a Automation suit.
Why we write test cases?
The basic objective of writing test cases is to validate the testing coverage of the application. If you are working in any CMMi company then you will strictly follow test cases standards. So writing test cases brings some sort of standardization and minimizes the ad-hoc approach in testing.
How to write test cases?
Here is a simple test case format
Fields in test cases:
Test case id:
Unit to test: What to be verified?
Assumptions:
Test data: Variables and their values
Steps to be executed:
Expected result:
Actual result:
Pass/Fail:
Comments:
So here is a basic format of test case statement:
Verify
Using [tool name, tag name, dialog, etc]
With [conditions]
To [what is returned, shown, demonstrated]
Verify: Used as the first word of the test case statement.
Using: To identify what is being tested. You can use ‘entering’ or ‘selecting’ here instead of using depending on the situation.
For any application basically you will cover all the types of test cases including functional, negative and boundary value test cases.
Keep in mind while writing test cases that all your test cases should be simple and easy to understand. Don’t write explanations like essays. Be to the point.
Try writing the simple test cases as mentioned in above test case format. Generally I use Excel sheets to write the basic test cases. Use any tool like ‘Test Director’ when you are going to automate those test cases.
Feel free to comment below any query regarding test case writing or execution.

Dear shriram,
i wanna ask that stress testing and Compatibility Testing are same or not? (in reference of question asked by Bibhu.)
plz clear my confusion.
hi all,
i have a question asked in interview.
its like this,
how do you rate yourself in manual testing.
i told 7 out of 10.
then interviewer asked me why 7?
i think the answer i gave was foolish answer and he was not satisfied and i answered for rest all questions.
please tell me what was i suppose to answer for such questions?
Hi Rajatha,
The answer which you gave was perfect. 7 is a pretty good rating.No one can say 10 out of 10 because no one is perfect. we all tend to do mistake somewhere
are another.
More over in regards to manual testing, their is always scope for improvement and learning.
so the remaining 3 points which you did not give for yourself is actually your improvement
and learning points, which you will ponder as the time goes on.I personally think u gave the right answer. if the interview got goofed up. it should be
for something else or maybe your luck . but certainly not for that answer.
Regards,
Tiger2k
hi tiger,
very glad to see your immediate response.
actually when he asked why only 7, for that i said still i need to get more exposure in manual testing. again he asked like what in that sense still what you have to learn in manual testing?
i said after becoming bit comfortable in manual testing then i want to into automation side like that i continued then he did not satisfied it seems he interrupted and moved to another question.
Hi Rajatha,
Your answer was right, but the way you put across may not have gone well with him\her.
Check the difference this sentences make :
Your sentence :”actually when he asked why only 7, for that i said still i need to get more exposure in manual testing.”
Better way : ” I think learning never ends, so everyday i learn from whatever i do and feel that their is certainly a scope for improvement. i set myself very high standards that is why i am never satisfied and try to do better. so i wont give full points for myself, then
their wont be any scope for improvement” smile a little after this sentence.
This sentence can change the whole course of your conversation.
Simple things, you indirectly saying to him that my 7 rating is equavelent to any normal person
10 rating. because ur targets are higher than common candidates and you tend to improve
and you learn continously.
Do you know what is the difference between briyani sold on road side shop and five star hotel.
very simple. the way it is presented. that is how they are different.
This is once again my persception. its not a testing question. so cant give a specific answer for it.
but i am sure, if i would have been the interviewer. i would have asked when do like to join our join after this answer
Regards,
Tiger2K
Rajatha,
Dont misunderstand my example of road side shop and five star hotel.
i was not referring your answer. but i am giving a generic example of the importance of presentation and choice of words.
Hope u understand what i was intending to convey
Regards,
Tiger2K
thanks a lot Tiger,
your answer is very useful.
i will answer in the same way in my next interview when i asked this question.
thank you again.
thats why i thought i answered correctly except for few general questions, why i did not get any feedback till now.
though we are technically good, we do mistakes like this.
but now i got my mistake.
one more question for that also i could not give proper answer
question is like this,
i mentioned OS as Windows 2000/XP in my profile.
interviewer : why you mentioned like this.
me : i tested this application in these platforms.
interviewer : then what is the difference that you found while testing in these 2 OS.
i did not give proper answer,
please tell me Tiger what i should answer for such questions.
general question :
being a test engineer we need to have good communication skill.
how to learn to put across our ideas in a perfect and impressive way.
how to get to know to express our ideas like how you explained.
please tell me.
thanks a lot,
@rajatha :
You mentioned like Windows 2000/XP in your profile.
You can justify your answer like this.
In general in Testing, you may come across some situations that you need to Test your Application on Different Platforms and Supporting Environment.
In Real customers may use our application/product in their environment, hence you need to assure that your product/application works perfectly with their environment.
Ping me back if you need more information.

hi rajatha
In some situations we have to test our application in different os platform that is also one type of requirement i.e., customer wants to use his application on two different os, at that time we have to test the application in two os environment.
i think this is enough for u if u have any doubts send me to my mail id gsreddy50@gmail.com
hi all i am new to testing i want some help from u r s .if u have any notes on web testing & example test cases
please send me to my mail id gsreddy786@gmail.com
i am always thankful to them who sent me the notes
Hi Rajatha,
I am really not sure what was the intent of interviewer to ask about the OS. because ur not testing the OS your were testing the application.
If you have mentioned in your resume that you have tested this application on 2 different OS then his question makes sense. because then the question is why did you test the application on 2 different OS.
what is the need to test the application on 2 different OS.
About the communication part rajatha, well yes i always belived in a professional environment communication is a must. their are N number of people in the industry, who simply dont talk. They are technical sound but that is not the only thing which will allow you to grow. no one know their existance their knowledge.
they just come to office. open the mail box and do whatever work is allocation to them, they dont explore. they dont question. this way talent is wasted and that actually affect the person also. no one recognise them since they dont do anything special. just do whatever is given to them. communication will only grow if you talk.
Regards,
Tiger2K
thanks Tiger,
by the way, is it true that we shouldn’t follow up regarding our interview feedback. everyone says we lose our prestige i mean being experienced we shouldn’t do follow ups.
so by keep on discussing with the peers and we should always try to use technical terms while discussing, so then only automatically will improve our communication wright.
thank you again..
Hi,
Even i too got the same doubt what Rajatha got…shouldn’t we follow up on the status or feedback of the interview?
HI GS Reddy,
I have send you the sample test cases. check it out and if you have doubts let me know.
Rajatha and Sajani, if you have any doubts regarding this topic e-mail me to lonegladiator@gmail.com let us discuss.
Regards,
Tiger2K
Rajatha and Sajani,
Yes, you should follow up on the status or feedback of the interview.
Reason being that u know where you went wrong. only then you can correct yourself. i dont see any prestige issue coming into play here.
Asking doubts does not make any one small it actually sends a statement to others that your interested in learning.
I dont see any thing wrong in asking for feedback of the interview. its another thing that the interviewer is ready to provide or not
but asking is your right, because u also spend your precious time attending interview, as much as he/she spend time taking on.

Tiger2K

Hello Kavitha,
This is Mallikarjun. I am sending the answer for your question which method is fallowing in my office.
The testing process is as fallows
First of all the Business Requirement Document was prepared as per the client’s requirement. Then on the basis of the requirement document, QA Team wrote Test Plans, Test Cases and Test Strategies. The developers started coding their modules (started programming). Once the developers finished coding, the Configuration Management Team compiled the code together and prepared a build. This Build is now deployed to different testing environments where different types of testing were performed. Once the defects are found, the testers will prepare the defect report and send to the PM. The defect report will prepare in Excel sheet. Once the defects are logged, then those defects would be discussed in the defect status meeting and would take further actions (meaning, closing, reopening, retesting of defects etc).
Mallikarjun.

Dear Mr.Sunny (#167 & #169),
Truely speaking, There is no difference in test cases what we learn from institute to that of real time test cases. Its one and the same. Only matters is domain may differs.
But the fields remains same.
Test Name,
Step Number,
Design Step,
Test Description,
Expected Result,
Actual Result,
Pass/Fail Criteria
and may or may not the below fields as well.
Regression (Mandatory or not),
Average time,
Platform (CLI or BBI) etc.,
Good luck.

Dear Mr.Balaji (#171),
Nice to listen that you are in to web testing.
Yes, It is necessary to write test cases for web applications (or whatever area of testing).
Coming to your question, How to write test cases for web bases applications?
For each and every feature/module, There will be a detailed description which testing team is going to receive from either directly from client or from development team. Which is referred to SRS or PRD or LLD or Application Guide. Based on this document notes, We need to design test cases.
Actually most of the people follow the below techniques:
1. Graph Based
2. Equivalence Class Partitioning (ECP)
3. Boundary Value Analysis (BVA)
4. Erro Guessing
5. Negative test cases
6. Dirty test cases etc
Whatever strategies (techniques) you follow, We need to makesure that, Each and every corner of the functionality has been covered to the best of our knowledge and understanding(s).

Dear Mr.Abhishek,
Expected Result is, The output that we are expecting from the SUT (System Under Test) or DUT (Device Under Test) or AUT (Application Under Test). While designint test plan (writing test cases), We are going to fill this Expected Result column based on our understanding(s) of SRS/PRD/LLD. Means that before actual execution of the test case, This expected result column will get filled in test plan.
Actual Result is what the SUT/DUT/AUT actually gave the out put. Means that, During designing test plan, We are just going to leave blank under this column. And while executing the test case, Then based on the actual output of the SUT/DUT/AUT, we are going to compare this Actual Result with Expected Result and then we are going to fill this column. If AR (Actual Result) is same as that of ER (Expected Result), Then we may write the same thing that is mentioned under ER (but should be meaningful) or simply we can say as “same as expected result”.
Suppose if AR is not equal to ER, Then we write the actual output of the SUT.
As desired, Here I’m giving you an example which even you can test on your own.
First Let me write Description to the website of monsterindia.com
okay?
Description:
Open http://www.monsterindia.com
Click on jobseekers login here
Enter Username or Email Address
Then press Tab key
Expected Result:
The check box (Tick here if using email address instead of username?) should get highlighted (wherein the user can either select or deselect that check box using space bar key in key board).
Acutal Result:
———————- First let us keep blank.
Now let me execute the above test case.
okay?
……………. Yes executed. What exactly happened.
All well, But after tab key, The application is taking me directly to password field instead of getting the checkbox highlighted.
And this is what I’m going to update in ER.
Hope you are clear now.
If not, You can also execute the above test case.
Good Luck.

“All men makes mistakes, But fools repeat them”.
Dear Ms.Visarada (#174 & #175),
Necessary documents to write test cases are:
SRS (Software Requirement Specification) or PRD (Product Requirement Specification) or LLD (Low Level Design) or Application Guide.
SRS/PRD/HLD – Max cases we are going to receive these documents from client side. Based on that we are going to design test plan (write test cases).
Strictly speaking, HLD is not recommended for writing test cases. Once HLD is ready, Acutally developers will author LLD and going to send to test team after completion of reviews (internal review and external review).
Based on this LLD, We are going to design test plan.
Don’t compare LLD with SRS/PRD. Just terms are different from employer to employer rather I would say from client to client. Just we are discussing with HLD and LLD.
But in some companies (as you said), We (testers) were asked to design test cases using HLD itself. Means that may be development team is engaged with busy shcedules and found no time to author LLD. So, In these cases, What we need to do is, We have to say “yes”, We can write test cases using HLD also.
What I suggest is that, Till you get understand, Re-read for 3 times, for better understanding. Simple. Break the things, Analyse the things. You can rock with test cases.
Good Luck.

“Impossible is nothing, If our heart is willing”.
Dear Mr.Raja Sekhar (#176),
1. When SRS is not clear, Its difficult to write test cases.
Means that, Testers can write test cases based on
the available SRS (whether clear or not clear), The
only difference is, If SRS is clear – Then the coverage
of requirements will be more and almost perfect. If
SRS is not clear, To the best possible way, Testers are
going to make use of the available SRS for covering to
a max extent. But in this case, However, Its difficult
to cover all the requirement(s)/functionalities
2. SRS keeps on getting update. Yes. But the updates are really not in full change to the previous SRS. But to some extent (may be 15-30 %) changes may happen for every version upgrade. Yes, We testers have to agree that, Its difficult to keep writing (modifying) test cases, as the SRS keeps on getting updated often.
So, What we do is, During initial releases/versions of SRS, Just we keep reading the documents and try to analyse what is what of the domain/product. But at some point of time, SRS becomes stable. Means that, No more huge modifications are expected. So, Based on this SRS, Its better to start writing test cases. Even, In future, If SRS gets updated, Just a few modifications/enhancements are needed in our existing test plan.
But some times, With the very first version of SRS only, Testers were asked to start designing test plan, So, No alternate. We have to say Yes and start designing test cases. Because, We can’t go against to client requirements/needs.
This situation is most common in all IT industries. But however it purely depends on client. Whether the client needs some added features or some features to be modified or not. Or whatever.
Hope you are clear now – I guess!

How to make test cases of Prototype of an application
Hi, I am about to start writing test cases. can anyone tell me some tips…. the tips here are good and ll follow this from now. can any extra tips to get effective test cases….
Hi,
If anyone asks “what is the domain of your project?”…. what we should answer…i am really confused with this question from past 1 month….so please help me….i am about to complete my training….and hope wil place in a project….
#195,
HI Anoosh,
Lets assume, if you are working on an application called ‘Internet Banking’, if you have been asked for what domain are you working on, then you can say, BANKING.
There are few other domains like, Telecom, Finance, Logistics, Pharma, Helthcare, Biotech, etc.
Hope this helps.

hi
i am a beginer can u give me a clear picture that where do we write testcasses practically i mean any excel sheet or msword etc .i have an interview can give me a quick answer.
Arma,
You can write test cases
1.Excel sheet
2.MSword
3.Any tools like QC(Qality Center).
It depends on the Organization
Dear Arma (#207),
For sure test cases will be written/author in excel sheet only (But not in excel sheet also), Means that not in MSword or Notepad or etc.,
For additional information, Read out my comment number carrying 186 here in this page itself. For few other details, you may refer to my other comments/replies as well.

Hi,
This site is very helpful for starters in testing field.
And I am very thankful to Mr. Govardhan Reddy as he has always answered my quieries very logically
I had gone through one interview in which I’av being asked the following questions
1.What is a defect show stopper?
2. How to report a bug?
He has also given me a scenario in which I have to write a test case
3. If an ATM machine is accepting my card and code and I want to withdraw an amount of 5000Rs but machine is not giving that, how will you write a TEST CASE on this?
And I just got confused whether i have to write a test case or I have to report it as a defect
Please help me..
Thank you
Regards,
Subi
Dear Subi (# 210),
You are most welcome. No thanks required. Its pleasure sharing skills to the best of my knowledge and experience.
Fine.
Lets discuss y(our) questions.
1. Defect Show Stopper:
———————–
Whenever application is not working as per the requirement (as per the design), Means that, There is a mis match in the behavior of the application (DUT/SUT/AUT). This is a failure and the effect of the failure can be categorized in four ways.
a. Critical
b. High
c. Medium
d: Low
Critical:
——–
Application crashes.
Data loss will be there.
No work around. (Work around means, Alternate way
to over come from this problem, eg., Rebooting the
application etc.,)
QA team can’t go ahead with further testing process
until and unless if this works.
Means, That this is a SHOW STOPPER. This category of defects will be given high severity by the project manager to get this defect fixed immediately (with in a very short period of time). Test engineers will be highly appreciated for such category of issues/defects. Because QA team or Testing team is making the application to break here itself instead of allowing the application to break at the customers/field end.
High:
——
Application crashes.
Data loss.
Workaround will be there.
Means that, Testing team can go ahead for further process of testing approach because of the work around. Eg. Main check box selection. Expected behavior of this check box is, If we select/enable this main check box, All the check boxes present below this main check box should get selected.
But not getting selected/enabled and more over operation carried out is not getting succeed ( not getting effected on the below check boxes, Operation here may be reboot, delete, halt etc., whatever).
Workaround here: Selecting each check box manually and performing the operation.
Medium:
———
No application crash.
No data loss.
Workaround will be there.
Defect affect will be not major. Further process of
testing can be carried out.
Work Around here: In the above example only. Even though the below check boxes are not getting selected/enabled, But the operation carried out will be coming in to effect. Means that reboot/delete/halt whatever we do for the main check box after selection, Its getting affected to the below check boxes though they are not enabled/getting selected.
Low:
—–
No data loss.
No application crash.
Work around will be there.
Defect affect to the application is very minor. Say example as “spell mistake”, “color of the text”, “x,y co ordinates of the image”, “text on the button is not exactly in center of the button” etc.
——————————————————-
Coming to your second query:
Bug report:
A good bug report must consist of the below fields.
1. Project Name
2. Project Version
3. Submitter Name
4. Date reported
5. Synopsis (One line summary of the bug)
eg. All check boxes present under the main check box are not getting selected/enabled whenever user selects the main check box.
6. Description: Clean and concise explanation of the Synopsis.
7. Reproduction Steps:
8. Severity: Critical/Major/High/Low
9. Attachments: (screen shots if any!)
10. Notes: whatever you feel to provide to the developer.
eg. Tested in IE 5/6/7 and firefox 2/3
but the behavior remains same.
Even Attachment(s)/notes are not mandatory. But more the information provided better the bug report will be.
FYI that, So many more columns will be pre-defined in the reporting tools. But just mandatory columns – if we fill, Report will be get saved/success. Optional fields are ignorable. But its good to provide more information in detail. Its up to us.
———————————————–
Coming to next query:
See Subi, He asked you to write test case.
Means that, Forget about the query what you have in your mind “whether i have to write a test case or i have to report it as a defect”.
He wants test case.
So, We have give test case(s).
1. Use Active ATM card (card must not be expired)
Enter valid pin (correct pin).
a. Select account type (savings/current)
a. Select Balance Inquiry
b. Select Withdrawl
c. Key in 5000
d. Press “yes” if asks for confirmation/print receipt
Expected Result:
If the amount entered (5000) is less or equal to the balance available (excluding minimum maintenance balance), Then ATM machine should display a message
“Please wait while your transaction is being processed” followed by counting the notes exactly equal to the sum of 5000 rupee and has to give out currency for the user ready to take.
Expected Result: If not, ATM should throw a message “In sufficient funds” followed by the print receipt with error code.
_____________
If the actual result is not equal to expected result, Just make that test case “fail” under pass/fail criteria field. And after re-testing we need to send across for QA team to review. Once approved, Then we are going to report it a bug. Once developers accepts that, Then it becomes a defect.
_______________________
Just break the things in to small pieces. You’ll end up with many solutions (test cases).
What I felt is that, Interviewer asked you to explain “what is test scenario”?, May be you didn’t answered – I guess. Its why, Interviewer asked you to write a test case for ATM (means that he given you a clue what is test scenrio is?).
Don’t get confuse Subi.
We are here to help you out to the best of my knowledge. Please note that, Whenever we failed to answer few questions during the interview, After completion of the interview, We have rights to ask the interviewer what are the answers for that. Its not a mistake at all. Yes, Believe me. We should not feel shy to ask. SIMPLE.
Good luck.

Govardhan Reddy M,
Software Test Engineer.

Hi, if any interviewer ask me to write the test cases on the functionality of wordpad then what should i write?
please help me!
Thank You!
hi
here is a example
1. click on Notepad
Notepad should be open
2. click on file
select new
new page should be open
3. write anything
click on closse
should ask for save or not
4. write something
click on save
should ask for enter file name
so, there are lots of step u can write.
test case is what you do in your application and not.test case covers all the functionality of the application.
I hope you like this.
thanks,

hi Govardhan
could u plz elaborate about difference betwen SMOKE TEST & SANITY TEST.
their is lot of confusion in both this type of test.
plz elaborate in simple lang.
Our mam told us that ,SMOKE TEST is nothing but cheking all labels,bullts,buttons ,images etc (all pasive ) are present in application or not whic is given in SRS.
IS it the right defination for smoke test .
plz clarify yar……
bbye.
zed.
Dear Mr. Saurabh ( # 248),
If you leave the decision to me, To the best of my knowledge (based on 2 – 3 hour of google and my real work environment), I can define the terms as below.
Smoke Testing:
—————-
1. Build Verification Test.
2. Shallow & Wide approach to the application.
3. Normal health checkup to a build of an application
before taking it to indepth testing.
4. Designed to touch every part of the application in a
cursory way.
5. Sometimes referred to as “rattle testing” – as in “if I
shake it does it rattle?”
6. It is done by the developers before the build is
released.
7. It is done by the testers before accepting a build for
further testing.
8. Tester “touches” all areas of the application without
getting too deep, looking for answers to basic
questions like,
a. Can I lauch the test item at all?
b. Does it open to a window?
c. Do the buttons on the window do things?
9. The purpose is to determine whether or not the
application is so badly broken – That testing
functionality in a more detailed way is unnecessary.
10. These written tests can either be performed
manually or using an automated tool. (When
automated tools are used the tests are often
initiated by the same process that generates the
build itself).
*************
As said by your mam, It is correct – Refer to the point 8 above.
**************
Sanity Testing:
—————-
1. Subset of Regression testing.
2. To verify that, Whether the requirements are met or
not?
3. Checking all features breadth first.
4. Its a cursory testing (Hasty and without attention to
detail).
Thanking you.

we can go for checking “redial” “flash” etc.,
then digits should be visible
2. take the receiver in hand and put at ear..
we should hear dial tone
3. press the digits..
number has to get dialed
4. press incorrect telephone/mobile number (eg.
instead of 10 digint mobile number press 11 or 12
incorrect number (call should not go)
valid number – call should go
invalid number – call should not go
5. if local out going faclity – std calls should not go
6. if local & std outgoing facility – isd calls should not go
7. in lock mode (if lock facility is availabel) – calls must
not go
8. if we give a call to land line – it should ring
9. if we lift the receiver during ringing – ringer should
get stopped and we should get connected to the user
who is calling
10. if phone is on a call, and we receive another call, we
have to hear beep tone and the others who are
calling should hear engage tone (as per settings)
——————————————————-
just analyze on my above points..
you endup with 100 test cases..
but for writing test cases no phone is required..
just imagination..
——————————————————-
In real time work environment we’ll be provided with a phone and document..Thats a very normal scenario (any one can understand)..
*********************************************
Test cases for Pen:
——————–
1. open the cap – it should get opened
2. close the cap – it should get closed
3. write on paper – it should write (without any
discontinuity)
4. write on glass – it should not write
5. it should write (paper) – till ink lasts
6. put it pocket – it should fit (pen should not fall in to
the pocket and cap only will be attached/stick/hand
to the pocket)
7. if not use and throw – change refil it should fit and
write as before
8. other refils should not fit (other branded refils) like
that..
9. drop the pen to the ground from minimum distance –
it should not get break.. something like that..
hmm… negative approach
10. writing on a glass – negative testing – it should not
write (if it writes, then test case fails)
11. if other branded refil fits perfectly – negative
testing – test case fails
but remember that, only enough negative testing should be done
testing pen is a white box or black box testing?
————————————————-
black box testing, simple, because we don’t know how the ink is getting filled inside the refil tube
we dont know how the cap is getting manufactured
we don’t know how the nib is manufacturing but
we have to make sure that.. if we write it – it has to
write
white box testing:
——————-
code based testing
black box testing:
——————-
code is blocked (testing from user perspective)
we don’t know how the wiring has been done in our home for electricity usage, but we have to make sure that, If the switch is on, the bulb has to glow clear?
(provided that bulb is in good condition and power is not shutdown/off)

Hi i need some sample test cases and how to write the test cases for the sample project. if u have any please send it to my ID
Please send me some examples(as many as possible) on numeric data types.
Hello Sir (Govardhan Reddy M),
I am working as Beta software tester. I have completed 2 projects of website testing. Recently i gave interview for designation of “QUALITY ASSURANCE ENGINEER”. I faced QA test. There were 3 problems;1 of real world scenario of Restuarant and 2 were of computer related,each of increasing difficulty. Each problem statement was of 1 full page long, consisting of function code upto 2 lines, its description, few examples and other general description supporting the main function. I have been told to write Test Cases.
Frankly telling, i found it Difficult to write test cases for these kind of problem statements. Writing test cases for application or website is quite simple.But writing test cases for these kind of problems Statements is quite difficult. I have faced this kind of test for the first time.
Regarding this, i have few queries:
1) What are the responsibilities and actual working of “Quality Assurance Engineer” & “Software Testing Engineer? Are they one and the same?
2) If both engineers are different, then what kind of activities they have to do in an company?
3) What kind of books/material i need to study, so that i can write test cases for such kind of Problem Definitions?
4) Can u send me some sample “Problems and its test cases”, so that i can improve myself in writing good test cases
I request you to solve my queries as soon as possible.
If possible, you contact me at: sanket.025@gmail.com
Thank in advance.

Hi
Can anyone explain about what is a test scenario with an example.
Test scenarios and/or cases are prepared by reviewing functional requirements of the release and preparing logical groups of functions that can be further broken into test procedures. Test procedures define test conditions, data to be used for testing and expected results, including database updates, file outputs, report results.
. Test cases and scenarios are designed to represent both typical and unusual situations that may occur in the application.
EX:Login page
In login page you have to give values for user name,
password and then click on ok button to login and cancel
button to close the login window
user name:Alphanumerics with 4-16characters long
password:lowercase letters with 4-8 chars long
OK :Next window
CANCEL :Close the window
Prepare Test Scenarios
Test Scenario Template
—————————
Test scenario1:Verify user name value
Test Scenario2:verify pass word value
Test Scenario3:verify OK button operation to login
Test Scenario4:verify cancel button operation to close the
window
Ts1:Verify user name value
a)Boundary value analysis (on Size)
min=4characters
maximum=16 characters
more than max or less than min are not allowed
b)Equivalence class partitions(on type)
A-Z or a-z or 0-9 are valid types to be entered
special symbols or blank fields are in valid
Test Scenario2:verify pass word value
SAME AS USER NAME
Test Scenario3:verify OK button operation to login
Decision table
user name ——pass word—–expected outcome after click
on “OK”
valid valid next window
valid invalid error message
invalid valid error message
blank value error message
value blank error message
Test Scenario4:verify cancel button operation to close the
Decision table
user name ——pass word—–expected outcome
blank blank close the window
value blank close the window
blank value close the window
value value close the window
Like the above example we will write test scenarios for all
the Functional Specifications.

Hello all – I am a Quality Analyst of many years and I think many of the commenters here are over-thinking test case creation. The standard that test cases should be written in is specific to the company which is to say, everyone does things differently. The smaller the company, the more likely it is that test case generation is not set to a particular standard.
It is almost impossible to ask for test cases specific to a calendar or email etc – the key thing to learn is how to write a generic test case which you can then apply to anything. Test cases at their root are very simple – I expect the software to do something – does it do it?
This is such a useful website, I may one day myself launch a QA oriented website just to help :]
Hello friends,

Testcase is a component which it consists of fields like testcaseno,description of the testcase,Expected result,Actual result,status,remarks are minimum to any testcase.Testcase no field says that”Testcase no”,Description of testcase field says that”what a testcase says?”,Expected result says tht “what an action of particular event does?”(i.e already defines in specification document),Actual result says that “what actually system gives the output when you execute a testcase”,Status field says that”When expected result is equal to actual result then the status should be ‘passed’ otherwise ‘fail’,Remarks field says that”any of the remarks are required to a particular testcase that will be written”..
