Testing is a possibility to assure that all requirements on a software system are verified prior to system introduction. For this we firstly derive the concrete testable requirements from the documents of the test basis. An unambiguous assignment of test cases to these requirements leads to a clear statement at which time a requirement can be considered as tested. This point is reached exactly when the execution of every test case assigned to this requirement is completed.
The Test Case Specification, developed on the principle of „requirement based testing” creates the necessary overview and transparency between software design and software test which is of significant importance for the quality of software systems.
Approach
From your test basis we create a catalog of testable requirements in which all functional and non functional characteristics required in the test basis will be listed.
After your agreement on this requirement catalog we specify the test cases for each requirement under consideration of the defintions in your Test Strategy. The test cases will be documented according our standards. But if desired of course we follow the common standards in your company. As well we deliver a finished Test Case Specification to you.
Results
- Requirement Catalog with the requirements for all quality characteristics of the software system
- Test Case Catalog with test cases for all requirements in the Requirement Catalog
Benefit
- Certificate of the completeness of the Test Case Specification through unambiguous assignment of test cases to requirements (minimum: one test case per requirement)
- Tranparency regarding test intensity of the single requirements through distinct assignment of a set of test cases to a single requirement
- Informational value concerning current requirement coverage in every phase of test execution
- Support of the approach of requirement based testing through a multitude of tools which allow analysis as well as reportings at the push of a button.
Prerequisites
- A complete, unambiguous and testable test basis (project brief, business proposal, IT concept) is available. To ensure this prerequisite our product Review Test Basis can be booked.
- A finished test strategy with information about which characteristics have to be verified in which test phase ere is documented and here in which priority. To warrant this you can order our product Create Test Strategy.
