Create Test Cases
Overview
Test cases validate requirements through repeatable steps. Linking tests to requirements supports coverage reporting.
Key Concepts
Test case: steps and expected outcomes
Execution result: pass, fail, blocked, or not run (status set varies)
Coverage: mapping of requirements to test cases
How It’s Used
Use test cases during system testing and UAT cycles. Use linked coverage for go/no-go readiness decisions.
Benefits
Reduced release risk through repeatable validation
Faster triage through consistent expected outcomes
Better auditability through recorded execution history
Setup Steps
Best Practices
Create tests only after requirement acceptance criteria is stable.
Keep tests small and focused.
Use a consistent naming pattern, such as
{Process} — {scenario}.
Summary
Test cases validate scope through repeatable steps. Links to requirements enable coverage tracking.
