we can say the testing is the type of destruction, form theat what are problem should involved in that product..

example of 'calculator'

we can give unique no. it's said to be "ID"

i.e  ID = 1

Test Case Description :

check the calculator should have all buttons..i.e 0-9..

the result will be also logged... such as actual and expected result..

and another example

ID = 2

Test Case Description

check all the basic operation symbol.. such as +,-,*,/,%

similarly we can write more test case for that..

  Writing a good test cases means to test the data more and more which is almost universially accepted.

Eg:- If we testes date format, then we have to test all the universially accepted formats including the given format in the SRS.

Techniques for writing Good Test cases

1.First do some home work what do you want to test for a requirement

2.claisfy the type of requirement(GUI,Functional,Database..)

3.Gather maximum information related and affected areas with this requirement

4.In Deails section write  this information(if you are using TD) which will be more useful for other testers

5.Use very simple English and general words in writing the description.(please don't show ur english talent here).All test steps should be low level.

6.Provide test data(if possible).

7.Write in details SQL Queries(it will save time while executing. Some people will not share their SQL knowledge in the scripts.)

8.Write clear Expected Result.

If you follow all the steps it will helpful to other testers and developes while execution and debugging(for developers)

good test case is that which can cover all the user expectations with the software.i.e test case should be use case driven.

example- while testing ATM, we should test whether

1) ATM lets the user to withdraw money in minimum steps or not.

2) If there is any change in ATM interface, our test case should not be changed.
