The document outlines strategies and methodologies for effective test case development and authoring, particularly in the context of a login page functionality. It provides examples of different input types, expected results, and how to create robust test cases while avoiding redundancy. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of defining input boundaries and conditions to ensure comprehensive testing.

How do you get a good set of test cases?
Example: A Login Page Inputs
Generic Login Command Input User ID Field Empty Too long Has invalid characters Valid Syntax Input Password Field Empty Too long Valid Syntax Inputs Characteristic Values (“choices”)
Kinds of Input Values Numeric Symbolic Enumerated Composite A number Specified as • Range • Precision (number of decimal places) May include a unit of measure A character string Specified as • Size • Pattern (regular expression or equivalent) A list of values Specified as the set of values May be ordered or unordered May have a corresponding numeric or symbolic value A single value composed of other values Examples: • Mailing Address • Grid Coordinate
Numeric Type Examples Type Name Description Examples Year A four-digit integer between 1900 and one plus the current year 2012 is good 1832 is not good 342.34 is not good “huh” is not good Money A US Dollar value between 0 and 1000.00 to a precision of 2 decimal places. 345.23 is good -60 is not good 34.219 is not good Count A nonnegative number used to indicate a count of items between 0 and 100. 46 is good 245 is not good -10 is not good Date A calendar date to the precision of one day 15-Jan-2010 is good 4/3/2010 is good* June 6 is not good * How this is interpreted depends upon whether you are in the US or Europe…
Symbolic Type Examples Type Name Description Examples ISBN Book Number 10 or 13 decimal digits The last character may be an X instead of a zero. 0-201-74804-5 is good 4-87197-308-5 is good 9781492217947 is good 9321G4E3 is not good ISO Country Code 2 capital letters US is good GB is good EUR is not good Order Number 4 digits plus a dash plus 6 digits: [0-9]{4}-[0-9]{6} (or d{4}-d{6}) 2014-002432 is good 1986-231321 is good 503-3324-324 is not good Title String 1 to 100 characters, including non-ASCII (foreign language) characters Pretty much anything as long as it’s not more that 100 characters long.
Common Input Values • Errors • Missing (empty, null, nothing, unchecked, …) • Too short • Too long • Wrong characters (bad syntax) • Out of range • Acceptable Values • Good syntax • Special characters (e.g. quotes, < > characters) • Non-ASCII and non-Latin characters

Going Beyond the Basics • Create variability in procedures • Action Choices • Using TAME when bugs are found • Root Cause Analysis • Modify the Tests • Scaling Up • Higher Level Tests • Results become Preconditions

Unforseen Circumstances A user ID that includes spaces causes a crash Three failed logins lock the user’s account • Add “contains spaces” as a choice • Add a value definition that includes spaces • Determine how to handle a user ID that includes spaces: is it allowed or is it an error? • Add “Preceding failed logins” as a new preconditions with several choices • Determine whether a locked account presents a different error message • Add result selectors

Comparative Testing Tools • Run Tests • White-box, code-centric NUnit, JUnit • UI-based, capture-playback Ranorex, Telerik • Design by Contract • Write a specification, construct a single test case Cucumber / Gherkin
Where to use TAME • Unit testing • specify and generate test cases that can run against software modules (classes, functions). • GUI testing • whether a traditional installed application, a website, or a mobile app, use TAME to specify the contents of UI pages, then generate test cases to validate user-facing behavior. • Regression testing • update the test specification and the test cases whenever new features are deployed or bugs are fixed.
Where to use TAME • Project Planning • create initial test specifications to estimate the number of test cases to be run and project the cost of the test effort. • Retrospectives • use the test specifications to probe features to better understand the root causes of failures.
TAME for All • TAME helps the analyst to think through what needs to be tested. • TAME gives the tester a platform for creating many test cases quickly. • TAME gives the project manager a means for sizing and scoping the testing effort.

  • 56. Where to use TAME • Unit testing • specify and generate test cases that can run against software modules (classes, functions). • GUI testing • whether a traditional installed application, a website, or a mobile app, use TAME to specify the contents of UI pages, then generate test cases to validate user-facing behavior. • Regression testing • update the test specification and the test cases whenever new features are deployed or bugs are fixed.
  • 57. Where to use TAME • Project Planning • create initial test specifications to estimate the number of test cases to be run and project the cost of the test effort. • Retrospectives • use the test specifications to probe features to better understand the root causes of failures.
  • 58. TAME for All • TAME helps the analyst to think through what needs to be tested. • TAME gives the tester a platform for creating many test cases quickly. • TAME gives the project manager a means for sizing and scoping the testing effort.
