- Understand the requirements: Clearly understand the requirements of the feature or system you are testing and create test cases that cover all aspects of it.
- Be comprehensive: Create test cases that cover all possible scenarios, including positive and negative cases, boundary conditions, and error conditions.
- Be repeatable: Test cases should be repeatable, meaning that they should produce the same results each time they are run.
- Be automated: Consider automating your test cases to save time and ensure consistency.
- Be maintainable: Keep test cases up-to-date and maintain them as the feature or system changes over time.
- Be traceable: Link your test cases to the requirements or user stories they are testing, so it’s easy to see which requirements are covered by which test cases.
- Be measurable: Define acceptance criteria for each test case and make sure the test case is measuring something that is relevant and useful.
- Be prioritized: Prioritize your test cases based on the risk and impact of the feature or system under test.
- Be reviewed: Have other team members review your test cases to ensure that they are complete, accurate, and useful.
- Be executed: Execute your test cases as part of your overall testing strategy, and use the results to improve your feature or system.
