Manual Testing Material

Types of Test Cases
Test cases are broadly divided into two types.

G.U.I Test Cases.
Functional test cases.
Functional test cases are further divided into two types.

Positive Test Cases.
Negative Test Cases.
Guidelines to prepare GUI Test Cases:

1.Check for the availability of all the objects.
2.Check for the alignments of the objects if at all customer has specified the requirements.
3.Check for the consistence of the all the objects.
4.Check for the Spelling and Grammar.
5.Apart from these guidelines anything we test with out performing any action will fall under GUI test cases.

Guidelines for developing Positive Test Cases.

1.A test engineer must have positive mind setup.
2.A test engineer should consider the positive flow of the application.
3.A test engineer should use the valid input from the point of functionality.

Guidelines for developing the Negative Test Cases:

1.A test engineer must have negative mind setup.
2.He should consider the negative flow of the application.
3.He should use at least one invalid input for a set of data.

1.Test Objective:
The purpose of the document is clearly described here in this section.

2.Test Scenarios:
The list of all the situations that are to be tested, that are listed out here in this section.

3.Test Procedure:
Test procedure is a functional level term, which describe how to test the functionality. So in this section one will describe the plan for testing the functionality.

4.Test Data:
The data that is required for testing is made available here in this section.

5.Test Cases:
The list of all the detailed test cases is- listed out here in this section.

Note:

Some companies even maintain all the above five fields individually for each and every scenario. But some companies maintain commonly for all the scenarios.
