Test Cases are detailed, step-by-step instructions created to verify that specific functionalities or features of a software application work as intended. Each test case focuses on a particular aspect of the system and includes predefined inputs, actions, and expected results to ensure accuracy and consistency in testing.
Key components of a Test Case:
Test Case ID: A unique identifier for tracking.
Title: A concise description of what is being tested.
Preconditions: Conditions or setup required before execution.
Steps to Execute: Detailed actions to perform during testing.
Expected Result: The anticipated outcome if the feature works correctly.
Actual Result: The observed outcome during execution.
Test cases help standardize the testing process, ensure thorough coverage, and provide a clear record for tracking and reporting defects.
Testing Summary: Overview of the testing process, including objectives, scope, and methods used.
Test Results: Detailed outcomes of executed test cases, including passed, failed, or blocked scenarios.
Defect Summary: A list of identified issues with their severity, priority, and status.
Coverage Metrics: Information on test coverage, such as functionalities, devices, or platforms tested.
Risk Assessment: Highlighting any unresolved risks or areas needing further attention.
Recommendations: Suggestions for improvements or actions required before release.
Attachments: Supporting documents like screenshots, logs, or detailed bug reports.
This report ensures transparency, helps the client assess product readiness, and provides a clear roadmap for next steps.
Test Report
A Test Report is used to summarize the results of testing, including what was tested, the outcome of each test, and any issues found. It provides insights into the quality of the software, helping stakeholders assess whether the product meets the required standards and is ready for release.
