Test Case Specification

See also on www.tmap.net: Specification Phase

Test Case Shared Steps Test Data Iterations

Link test cases and requirements to provide requirement traceability Data drive test cases with different parameters Refactor common shared steps in test cases

Test Case

Test step types

Test steps Make them descriptive Not every step is a validation step Use the step attachment

Test steps copy-past

Test Data Iterations Data drive test cases with different parameters

Test Data Iterations

Test data copy-past

Shared Steps Refactor common shared steps in test cases Reduce test maintenance by sharing test steps across test cases

Shared Steps Shared Step candidates?

• REUSE – Many steps, reused for many test cases . Benefit: time, retyping, boring work.

• EXPECTED CHANGES – for example environment variables change [URL]. Benefit: Time, test cases

which need this step are updated automatically, also action recording.

• PRE- CONDITIONS – bring the system under test to a certain state and execute the different

verifications. Benefit: beside time, you are certain the application under test is in the same state for every test case

• BACK TO INITIAL STATE - after test execution bring the environment back to the initial state for

new test cases. Benefit: beside time, you are certain the application under test is always in a clean state for new test cases.

Test Execution

Test Runner

A test that you will want to run multiple times. Different manual tests that contain common steps. Verifying a bug is fixed by using a manual test.

Record scenario by business user with MTM on application under test. Action recording is captured.

1

Create test steps (with parameters) in MTM by using the action recording.

2

Save test case and execute it by a tester on application under test, by using MTM.

3

CON: - Manual actions and tests. - Test steps text are technical names - Action recording (step 1) must be clean. - Unknown what is validated, during step 2, need

additional knowledge. - The business user must think of the important

scenarios The action recording during step 1 can have unnecessary steps, these can be removed during the execution (1) or during the specification (2).

PRO: - Reuse scenario knowledge business user - No typing detailed test steps - Easy to parameterize - Writing standards for test steps - MTM capabilities in step 3. (bug, codedUI,

recommended test etc …) Most benefit during step 2 (test case writing), benefit in step 1: run once in common situation. Benefit in step 3: common MTM benefits (record playback, fast forward, parameters etc) and benefit of well written steps.

Flavor A: Execution from VS2010…

Configurations for automated test execution:

Real developer test / test automation dry run (Triggered by: right mouse click – run tests, in test project) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd286580.aspx No additional configuration needed* * Data Diagnostic Settings in the Local.Testsettings file are configurable.
