Tutorial 8: To design test cases.

This document is for your understanding. after reading this you have to make 2 test cases.

To design test cases, you need to systematically create scenarios that check whether a
software application works as expected.

Here’s a step-by-step guide 👇

🧩 1. Understand the Requirements

 Study the SRS (Software Requirement Specification) or user stories.

 Identify functional and non-functional requirements.

 Clarify any doubts before you start designing.

🧠 2. Identify Test Scenarios

 A test scenario is a high-level idea of what to test.


Example: “Verify login functionality with valid and invalid credentials.”

🧪 3. Design Test Cases

Each test case is a detailed instruction on how to test a specific function.

Test Case Template:

Field Description

Test Case ID Unique identifier (e.g., TC001)

Test Scenario What functionality is being tested

Pre-Conditions What needs to be true before the test

Test Steps Step-by-step instructions

Test Data Input values

Expected Result What should happen

Actual Result What actually happens (filled during execution)

Status Pass/Fail

Priority/Severity Importance of the test

🧮 4. Apply Test Design Techniques

Use systematic techniques to find effective test cases:

 Equivalence Partitioning (EP): Divide input data into valid and invalid classes.
 Boundary Value Analysis (BVA): Test at the edges of input ranges.

 Decision Table Testing: For combinations of conditions.

 State Transition Testing: For systems that depend on previous states.

 Error Guessing: Based on experience of where bugs usually occur.

🧰 5. Review and Traceability

 Review test cases for completeness and clarity.

 Maintain Traceability Matrix to map requirements → test cases.


(Ensures every requirement is tested.)

✅ 6. Example Test Case

Field Example

Test Case ID TC001

Scenario Verify login with valid credentials

Precondition User must be registered

1. Open login page


Steps 2. Enter valid username & password
3. Click “Login”

Test Data Username: john123, Password: abc@123

Expected Result User is redirected to the dashboard

Actual Result To be filled after execution

Status Pass/Fail
