Answer :

Test case is a detailed procedure that fully test a  features or an aspect of a feature.

It describes how to perform a particular test. you need to  develop a test case for each test listed in the test plan.

A test case includes:

• The purpose of the test.
• Special hardware requirements, such as a modem.
• Special software requirements, such as a tool.
• Specific setup or configuration requirements.
• A description of how to perform the test.
• The expected results or success criteria for the test.

Question 4. What Are Basic Types Of Test Cases?

Answer :

There are basically two types of test cases:

1. Positive test cases

2. Negative Test cases

• Positive test cases are meant to test for which the application is made(functionality or the requirements).
• Negative test cases are meant to test for the which the  application is not made.

Question 7. Why Do We Need Test Cases?

Answer :

This is the very basic requirement to start with the testing phase. We should have the test cases for testing any system. test cases is written based on the scenarios you have to test the system. Test cases gives us the assurance that flows are working fine or not based on the status of the test case. If the status of some test cases are failed meaning some flows are not working fine and there is bug in the system that needs to be fixed. If the status of the test cases are passed meaning flow is working as expected and system is behaving as per the requirement.

Question 8. What Is Domain Testing?

Answer :

Domain testing is the most frequently described test technique. Some authors write only about domain testing when they write about test design. The basic notion is that you take the huge space of possible tests of an individual variable and subdivide it into subsets that are (in some way) equivalent. Then you test a representative from each subset.

Question 9. Explain The Branch Coverage Testing?

Answer :

No software application can be written in a continuous mode of coding, at some point we need to branch out the code in order to perform a particular functionality. Branch coverage testing helps in validating of all the branches in the code and making sure that no branching leads to abnormal behavior of the application.

Question 10. Do You Know Explain Security Testing?

Answer :

Security Testing is carried out in order to find out how well the system can protect itself from unauthorized access, hacking – cracking, any code damage etc. which deals with the code of application. This type of testing needs sophisticated testing techniques.

Question 11. How Can We Write A Good Test Case?

Answer :

Essentially a test case is a document that carries a Test Case ID no, title, type of test being conducted, Input, Action or Event to be performed, expected output and whether the Test Case has achieved the desired Output(Yes No).

Basically Test cases are based on the Test Plan, which includes each module and what to be tested in each module. Further each action in the module is further divided into testable components from where the Test Cases are derived.

Since the test case handles a single event at a time normally, as long as it reflects its relation to the Test plan, it can be called as a good test case. It does not matter whether the event passes or fails, as long as the component to be tested is addressed and can be related to in the Test Plan, the Test Case can be called a good Test Case.
