Review the requirements to be tested
Work with Analyst and Developer to identify which scenarios need new or additional test cases. Review
the Iteration Plan to ensure you understand the scope of development for the
current iteration.
|
Outline the Test Cases
For each test case, write a brief description with an expected result. Ensure that a casual reader can clearly
understand the difference between test cases. Note the logical pre-conditions and post-conditions that apply to each
test case. Optionally, outline steps for the test case.
Verify that test cases meet the Checklist: Test Case guidelines.
For more information on the test case, see Template: Test Case.
|
Identify test data needs
Review each test case and note where data input or output might be required. Identify the type, quantity, and
uniqueness of the required data, and add these observations to the test case. Focus on articulating the data needed and
not on creating specific data.
For more information on test data selection, see Checklist: Test Case.

Share and evaluate the Test Cases
Walk through the test cases with the Analyst and Developer responsible for the related scenario. Ideally, the Stakeholder also participates.
Ask the participants to agree that if these test cases pass, they will consider these requirements
implemented. Elicit additional test ideas from the Role: Analyst and the Stakeholder
to ensure you understand the expected behavior of the scenario.
During the walkthrough, ensure that:
-
The Use Cases and Supporting Requirements Specification planned for the current iteration have
test cases.
-
All the participants agree with the expected results of the test cases.
-
There are no other conditions of satisfaction for the requirement being tested, which indicates either a
missing test case or a missing requirement.
