 Posted: Sat Nov 18, 2006 3:05 pm Post subject: Why do we write test cases? |
 |
|
1) Test Cases are supposed part of the deliverable to the customer. TC goal credibility in this case. Typically UAT (acceptance) level.
2) Test Cases are for team internal use only. Typically System level testing. Testing efficiency should the goal in this case. The idea is to write test cases based on design while code is incomplete, so that we could test product quickly once the code is ready.
There are also sometime test cases created only to have something to report test progress against. Like we have 80% of test cases written and 70% of them pass. However this is not a good practice and leads to wrong judgement especially by inexperienced project managers/product managers.
This is most typical mistake to measure quality in number of defects open and test progress in numbers of test cases, I suggest everyone to read James Bach to learn why. |
