Test case outline

• Introduction/overview contains general information about Test case.
  • Identifier is unique identifier of test case for further references, for example, while describing found defect.
  • Test case owner/creator is name of tester or test designer, who created test or is responsible for its development
  • Version of current Test case definition
  • Name of test case should be human-oriented title which allows to quickly understand test case purpose and scope.
  • Identifier of requirement which is covered by test case. Also here could be identifier of use case or functional specificationitem.
  • Purpose contains short description of test purpose, what functionality it checks.
  • Dependencies
• Test case activity
  • Testing environment/configuration contains information about configuration of hardware or software which must be met while executing test case
  • Initialization describes actions, which must be performed before test case execution is started. For example, we should open some file.
  • Finalization describes actions to be done after test case is performed. For example if test case crashes database, tester should restore it before other test cases will be performed.
  • Actions step by step to be done to complete test.
  • Input data description
• Expected results contains description of what tester should see after all test steps has been completed
