The document outlines the process for designing test cases, including defining test cases, the phases of design, characteristics of good tests, and techniques. It discusses items needed in a test case template like an ID, description, prerequisites, expected results. The document also lists documents required for design like requirements and SRS documents, and provides an example test case summary report template.

3. • A set of test inputs, execution conditions, and expected results developed for a particular
objective, such as to exercise a particular program path or to verify compliance with a
specific requirement.” (IEEE)
•Test Case is a commonly used term for a specific test. This is usually the smallest unit of
testing. A Test Case will consist of information such as requirements testing, test steps,
verification steps, prerequisites, outputs, test environment, etc.

5. Test Items
Mandatory Items for Test Case Template:
•Test case ID
•Test case/Description
•Pre-Requisite
•Test Data/Test Action/Test Script
•Expected Result
•Actual Result
•Status
•Defect ID

6. Characteristics of Good Test
An Excellence test case satisfies the following criteria:
•It has a reasonable probability of catching an error.
•It is not redundant.
•It should be the best of its breed.
•It is neither to simple nor to complex.

7. Techniques of Test Cases
Techniques:
•Equivalence class analysis.
•Boundary Analysis.
•Testing state transition.
•Testing race conditions and other time dependencies.

8. Required Documents
Documents needed to design test cases:
• Functional Requirement Document
• SRS
• Other Documents
