- 10. Characteristics of a Useful Requirement Is it Unique? Is this the only requirement that defines this particular objective? Is it Precise? Are there any vague words that are difficult to interpret? Is it Bounded? Are there concrete boundaries in the objectives? Is it Testable? Can you build one or more test cases that will completely verify all aspects of this requirement?
- 11. “ The system response time shall always be reasonable for all critical transactions.” Exercise: Example of a Test Requirement Is it Unique? ___________ Unknown Is it Precise? ___________ Is it Bounded? ___________ Yes Yes Is it Testable? ___________ Yes! “ The system response time shall always be reasonable for all critical transactions .” “ The system response time shall always be within 3 seconds for the Insert, Update and Delete Order transactions.” “ The system response time shall always be within 3 seconds for the Insert, Update and Delete Order transactions.” “ The end-to-end system response time shall always be within 3 seconds for the Insert, Update and Delete Order transactions.” “ The end-to-end system response time shall be within 3 seconds for 25 users simultaneously executing the Insert, Update and Delete Order transactions.”
- 12. Importance of Tracing and Tracking Requirements Good requirements aid both test and development Difficult to develop software against evolving requirements - solid requirements help prevent ‘Scope Creep’ Measure twice - cut once

- 32. What is a Test Set? A test set is a subset of your test cases. A test can belong to more than one test set. Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Unit Test Regression Test Stress Test
- 34. DEMO Create a test set Add tests to a test set Setting test dependencies Setting test set properties
- 35. DEMO Executing a manual test Add a defect from a manual test Executing an automated test Adding hosts
- 36. DEMO Running a test set Setting run times
- 37. Summary Test sets help you to organize testing tasks and schedules You can add test cases to test sets, and manage your test execution flow and test dependencies Tests can be executed individually, but more often than not they're executed as part of a larger test set As you're reviewing the results of your test runs, log bugs immediately from the Test Lab module.
