Answer / minni

When SRS is prepared by the business analyst he will send
the drafts to testers and developers for review. After
reviewing testers and developers will send their comments
and after analysing them the SRS is modified. once the SRS
is freezed TL prepares the TESTPLAN and after that testers
start writing testcases.
i..e testers start writing testcases when the
requirement phase itself.

Answer / peeyush srivas_qa infotech

Well it depends on the SDLC model, you can write test cases
even when development of the product is not started.
Usually we follow incremental approch so we used to write
test cases once requirements are baselined on the basis of
requirements and on the basis of use cases if available

Answer / mohammed arshad - creative tec

A tester can start writing test cases once he gets the SRS.
The SRS copy may be the final copy or may not be the final
copy(i.e. there could be changes in the SRS), but the
tester can start writing the test cases.

1 Tarot 1.1 Purpose - Tarot tool will duplicate the tarot-reading process for the user online. - Tarot is a craft that uses a deck of 78 cards to predict a user’s past, present and future. - The cards are picked by the user and arranged in a specific spread, which represents points in his past, present, and future; based on the meanings of the cards selected, interpretations are given. 1.2 Scope Only for registered user. 1.3 User Interface User Interface: 1. Question – This is only for user experience, and has no bearing on the formulae / process. Simple long text box. 2. Selection of field – radio button selection of 1 of 3 choices(Love, Career, Personal), which affects 1 of 3 card- meaning databases to be used. After selection, the unselected databases do not affect or interact with the system. 3. Spread Selection – radio button selection of 1 of 3 choices(Celtic Cross, Horse Shoe, Simple 3 Card). This determines the number of cards being picked and the specific spread database to be used. This also affects the specific report format being used, as well as the card- selection GUI. 4. Card Selection – based on the input 3, a specific layout is shown where the user needs to identify X number of cards (X also determined by input 3) which are then shown in the spread. Every card selection identifies the spread position constants (A, B, C, etc) with specific variable values (Card numbers) creating an array. Report format will display on a separate new page, in the following sequence – - Statement of question asked - Selection of field - Selection of spread - Detailed description of position data, positions identified as per spread selection - Card meaning as picked in field selection 1.4.5 Interfacing/Sourcing Details 1.4.5 Rules and Conditions - Data needs to be calculated for all fields, but only a maximum of 3 cards data should be shown in the free report. For the rest, a payment would be required. - Payment reports not in phase 1 - The report needs to be emailable (so functionality to convert to text file / html document should exist, which will then be emailed to the user’s email address).
