Here’s a step-by-step guide to writing strong test cases:
1️⃣ Identify the Feature to Test
Decide which feature or functionality you want to test.
Example: Search bar functionality on an e-commerce website.
2️⃣ Define Test Scenarios
List different situations the feature can be tested under. Example for login:
Valid credentials (should log in successfully)
Invalid credentials (should show an error)
Expired password (should prompt password reset)
3️⃣ Identify Test Data
Specify the inputs needed. Example: usernames, passwords, email IDs, or sample product IDs.
4️⃣ Write Clear Steps
Break down the process into small, easy steps. Example for testing checkout:
Add product to cart
Enter shipping details
Select payment method
Confirm order
5️⃣ Specify Expected Results
For each scenario, define what should happen.
Example: If valid credentials are entered, the user should be redirected to their dashboard.
6️⃣ Review and Update Regularly
Software changes often, so test cases should be reviewed and updated to match the new requirements.
