Re: Categorization of Functional Testcases See we write test cases using ECP, BVA and cause and effect graph. If you want to categorize on the basis of these, then you can, otherwise, I have never heard about it. __________________ Brijesh Jain brijesh.tester@yahoo.co.in http://softwaretestingexpertise.blogspot.com

Re: Categorization of Functional Testcases We can categorize them according to scenario, but never heard about categorize test cases into complex and simple functionality? A good test case should neither too simple nor too complex. __________________ Brijesh Jain brijesh.tester@yahoo.co.in http://softwaretestingexpertise.blogspot.com Last edited by jainbrijesh : 05-16-2007 at 06:49 AM.

Re: Categorization of Functional Testcases we can catagorize functional test cases on the basis of priority. what is the module meant to do should be at first and then later the less priority test cases. for that u need to know all functionalities of the module.

See akbhar, The way you are telling is not categorizing of test cases.This is the sorting of test cases according to a particular condition, which is in built facility of bug tracking tool. __________________ Brijesh Jain brijesh.tester@yahoo.co.in http://softwaretestingexpertise.blogspot.com
