Testers calling a perticular test case as good test case which always passes.Is it right? No! A good test case is the one which has a very high probability to fail.

A successful test is one that uncovers an as-yet-undiscovered error.

A good test case is one that has a high probability of finding an as-yet-undiscovered error.

Hi All,

Briefly I would like to say, Good test is a test which is covering most of the object's functionality.

And a test that discovered more errors. The whole purpose of testing process is to discover as many bugs and errors as possible. Test that covers more functionalists and more errors in your product, therefore its considerable more successful and a good test.

A good test is any test that accurately and thoroughly informs about the state of an application's functionality.   A bad test is any test that misinforms about the state of an application's functionality, due to either inaccuracy or incompleteness. 

Example:  A tester reads and learns a particular functional requirement and authors test cases for it.  If he fully understands this requirement and authors test cases that accurately and thoroughly tests it, then I consider this to be a good test.  In contrast, this tester may not have fully understood the functional requirement and consequently authored inaccurate test cases or failed to include an important test case in the test suite, then I would consider this to be a bad test.
