Test Case Management Tools

What is a Test Case?

A test case is a defined format for software testing required to check if a particular application/software is working or not. A test case consists of a certain set of conditions that need to be checked to test an application or software i.e. in more simple terms when conditions are checked it checks if the resultant output meets with the expected output or not. A test case consists of various parameters such as ID, condition, steps, input, expected result, result, status, and remarks....

Types of Test Cases

Functionality Test Case: The functionality test case is to determine if the interface of the software works smoothly with the rest of the system and its users or not. Black box testing is used while checking for this test case, as we check everything externally and not internally for this test case.  Unit Test Case: In unit test case is where the individual part or a single unit of the software is tested. Here each unit/ individual part is tested, and we create a different test case for each unit.   User Interface Test Case: The UI test or user interface test is when every component of the UI that the user would come in contact with is tested. It is to test if the UI components requirement made by the user are fulfilled or not.   Integration Test Case: Integration testing is when all the units of the software are combined and then they are tested. It is to check that each component and its units work together without any issues.  Performance Test Case: The performance test case helps to determine response time as well as the overall effectiveness of the system/software. It’s to see if the application will handle real-world expectations.  Database Test Case: Also known as back-end testing or data testing checks that everything works fine concerning the database. Testing cases for tables, schema, triggers, etc. are done.  Security Test Case: The security test case helps to determine that the application restricts actions as well as permissions wherever necessary. Encryption and authentication are considered as main objectives of the security test case. The security test case is done to protect and safeguard the data of the software.  Usability Test Case: Also known as a user experience test case, it checks how user-friendly or easy to approach a software would be. Usability test cases are designed by the User experience team and performed by the testing team.  User Acceptance Test Case: The user acceptance case is prepared by the testing team but the user/client does the testing and review if they work in the real-world environment....
