Overview
In this tutorial, we will learn how to write Test Cases for an application. Test cases should cover major functionality of the application and cover other non-functional aspects as well.
Write Test Cases
Identify the main actors and the main functionality of the application in-order to document the test cases.
Ask yourself some questions like:
- Who is going to use the System?
- What is the main intended purpose of the application for the user?
- What are the Business Goals?
- Why would the user use the System? ( Business Value)
Divide the test cases into different categories like:
Functional Test cases
- Black-box testcases( Testing without knowing the inner details of the application under test)
- White-box testcases( What’s inside the box ? Source Code perspective testcases for example JUnit testcases)
- Integration testcases( co-existence with other systems, communication with other modules or systems)
- Usability testcases( How usable is the system? System settings, Themes, GUI , Look and Feel, Ease of Use, etc)
Non Functional Test cases
- Stress testcases ( How does the system behave under stress? Inject Low memory faults, sandbox the app in low resources, etc )
- Performance testcases ( How does the system perform under abnormal conditions. Create concurrent virtual sessions, measure response times, SLAs)
- Security testcases ( How secure is the system? Inject Security Threats, etc )
