Test Case Management and Its Tools: Brief Overview
Why Testing?
From the moment you start writing software, you also start testing it. This might not appear to be true but even if you write the iconic “hello world” program, the next thing you do is to verify that it actually says, “hello world”. As you go from that initial seed of a program to more and more complex functionality, the problem of testing moves from the realm of common sense to that of serious logistics. So, in order to keep track of everything, you need to use test case management tools.
Concepts Associated with Test Case Management
- Test Scenarios: Defines means for confirming the requirement. “What goals do users have with the application?”.
- Test Cases: Answers, “What discrete activities comprise the users’ goals?”. Describing the component pieces confirming requirements.
- Test Scripts: Tell you how to execute that component piece.
Main Components of a Test Case
- An ID: A unique way of identifying the test case.
- Title or brief description: A quick means of understanding the software activity in question.
- Related requirement and/or test: What broader scenario and requirement does this test case roll up to?
- Remarks/Notes: Freeform comments about the test case.
- Script: Exact steps for executing the test.
- Pass/Fail Status: Is the test case currently passing or failing?
- History and Audit Trail: You should be able to see its pass/fail history as well as general changes and who has run/modified the test case.
