Introduction
It is a specific procedure of testing a
particular requirement.
It will include:
Identification of specific requirement
tested
Test case success/failure criteria
Specific step to execute test
Test data
3

What Is Test
Case?
Testing is a process centered around the
goal of
finding defects in a system
Test case:
Set of input values
Set of expected results
How to execute the test and check
results
Expected post-conditions
4

What Is test case optimization?

Typically applies to unit test cases where
coverage
approaches 100%
Implies ordering execution such that:
Rate of fault detection is increased
Amount of time to perform
regression is reduced
Elimination of unnecessary test cases during
regression
runs

Why Is Test Case Optimization

Important?
Execution complexity
Elapsed time to execute
Computing resources
Wait time for test completion
Late defect detection and
correction

Who Develops Test Cases?

Developers
Dedicated quality assurance staf
Automated test generation
techniques

Software Development Life

Cycle (SDLC)

SDLC stands for Software Development Life Cycle.

It is a process that describes how to develop,
design and maintain the software project ensuring
that all the functional & user requirement, goals
and objective are met. For the creation of
innovative software products the development life
cycle undergoes diferent phases.

Requirement Analysis phase.

Design phase.
Coding or Development phase.
Testing phase.

Quality
Quality means conformance to requirements
The best testers can only catch defects that are
contrary to specification.
Testing does not make the software perfect.
If an organization does not have good
requirements engineering practices then it will
be very hard to deliver software that fills the
users needs, because the product team does
not really know what those needs are.
11

Test Automation
Test automation is a practice in which
testers employ a software tool to reduce
or eliminate repetitive tasks.
Testers either write scripts or use record-andplayback
to capture user interactions with the
software being
tested.
This can save the testers a lot of time if many
iterations
of testing will be required.
It costs a lot to develop and maintain
automated test

Example
Test Requirements Identified (among
others):
Validate that you can insert an entry

Validate that insertion fails if entry already

present
Validate that insertion fails if table already
full
Validate that you can insert an entry to an
empty table (initial)

Drilling Down
First, Lets look
at this relationship:

conclusion
Increased the rate of early fault detection
and
correction
Find bugs early so they can be corrected
early
Regression test only those areas that have
changed
Reduce the amount of time to execute full
