At Q-Pros, we take pride in our commitment to adopting top-level methodologies and test cases that are essential for the Quality Assurance (QA) process. Our specialized quality engineers utilize their skills to improve software performance and deliver exceptional results for our clients.
What are Test Cases?
In simple terms, a test case involves implementing a scenario to measure the functionality and non-functionality of specific software by applying a set of actions. This is achieved by executing certain features of an application under specific conditions to ensure the desired result.
Test cases differ from test scripts, which are programs intended to test specific codes responsible for certain aspects of functionality. Test cases, on the other hand, involve a set of actions aligned with the actual order of functionality planned for the application, making them more comprehensive.
Each test case step aims to produce a pass or fail status based on the criteria being followed. For example, an application's security can be measured through a test case where elements are actioned to verify password or account authentication.
Components of Test Cases:
Effective test cases consist of several components:
Test Case ID: Each test case should have a distinct ID for easy tracking of progress and scenario references.
Test Description: A description of the unit being tested and its purpose.
Pre-Conditions: The conditions that must be met before conducting the test case. For instance, having an account is a condition to measure security.
Test Data: This includes the data used for verification, input, and output.
List of Steps to Action: A step-by-step representation of the order of actions needed to implement the test.
Expected Result & Actual Result: After executing all actions and conditions, the expected result should already be in mind (i.e., the desired outcome of the scenario). The expected result is then compared with the actual result to assess whether it is a pass or a fail.
Importance of Having Test Cases:
Having well-defined test cases is vital for various reasons:
Client Understanding: Test cases help clients understand the potential of their product and how it performs under specific scenarios. Developers plan test cases ahead of time to keep clients informed about what to expect.
Transparency and Trust: Test cases promote transparency and build trust between all parties involved. They allow clients to provide feedback and get involved in the testing process, strengthening cooperation between developers and testing experts.
Innovation and Comprehensive Testing: With test cases in place, the application's potential is stretched further to include more aspects of use. This fosters innovation and ensures every corner of the application is thoroughly covered.
