what is the gendral format for test case?

Answer Posted / mohankanth

Test case ID - The test case id must be unique across the
application
Test case description - The test case description must be
very brief.
Test prerequisite - The test pre-requisite clearly
describes what should be present in the system, before the
test can be executes.
Test Inputs - The test input is nothing but the test data
that is prepared to be fed to the system.
Test steps - The test steps are the step-by-step
instructions on how to carry out the test.

Expected Results - The expected results are the ones that
say what the system must give as output or how the system
must react based on the test steps.
Actual Results – The actual results are the ones that say
outputs of the action for the given inputs or how the
system reacts for the given inputs.
Pass/Fail - If the Expected and Actual results are same
then test is Pass otherwise Fail.
The test cases are classified into positive and negative
test cases. Positive test cases are designed to prove that
the system accepts the valid inputs and then process them
correctly. Suitable techniques to design the positive test
cases are Specification derived tests, Equivalence
partitioning and State-transition testing. The negative
test cases are designed to prove that the system rejects
invalid inputs and does not process them. Suitable
techniques to design the negative test cases are Error
guessing, Boundary value analysis, internal boundary value
testing and State-transition testing. The test cases
details must be very clearly specified, so that a new
person can go through the test cases step and step and is
able to execute it. The test cases will be explained with
specific examples in the following section.
