To prepare the test case first you should what are you going to test? i mean the what functionality you are going to test. based on that only you can prepare the test conditions and cases.

The first input required for preparing test conditions/cases is that a baselined Functional specification document

For writing test cases you need:1. Functional specification documents2. screen shots(if exist/)3. other help documents, related to the unit.Apart from this, you need to know the functionalities of each and every unit, and whether it is linked to any other unit./module (in case of integration testing)

Use case document might be really useful, in case its not there a functional spec might do provided you do a kind of exploratory testing on the product. (to understand the application).The fact is that you can write good test cases when you have good understanding of the application, you do not need any input at all! (I do it :-) )

Hai.

I saw ur answer. I am not agree with ur approach. you said before writing Test Cases u need all documents. In this time i ask one question!Then what is called Exploratory Testing....

Actually what is the pre condition (I/P) to write a Test cases is....

First you should analyse what are you going to test? Based upon functinality or some what performance based? Based upon that only you can prepare the test conditions and cases.

If ur PM ask to write one test cases, but he is not providing any requirement analysis / use case / any document /  but he explain manualy. what ur going to do.. that appproach is Exploratory....based upon our knowledge we can write some observations know.

Correct me if i am wrong!!!

Hi Rani
                 If i am not making mistake you are asking about test case format...

To write test cases for any any application you need to prepare a format to which your company is implementing.....Mostly these following fields are should be in this format

1: Serial No.
2: Test case id
3: Page Url: (If any or in case of online applicatin)
4: Test Input
5: Test Condition
6: Expected Results
7: Actual Result
8: Severty
9: Priority
10: Bug status (Pass or Fail)
11: Assigned to (Your TL or direct developer)
12 : Detected By: (your name i.e tester)

Q: suppose tester raise issue over a bug and developer says no.this cycle repeats over 10 times.what will be the testers role?

Give all ur inputs to ur lead and let ur lead escalate the situation to dev lead. Before doing this make sure that u r on right track (regarding the details of the issue raised by U)

Correct me if I am wrong!!!!
