Categorization of Functional Testcases

Dear All,

Kinldy let me know how we can categorize functional testcases. Is there any standard method to be followed in IT industry.

Mainly two category are,

Positive test cases and negative test cases.

Thanks for the reply.
one more question please
[B]Can we categorize Positive testcases?[/B]

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.

What is ECP and BVA? Please elaborate them

Equivalence class partitioning (ecp) boundary value analysis (bva)

can we catgorize testcases into complex and simple functionality?

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.

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.

generally we are writing test cases using this technic


1. User interface
2. useability
3. validity
4. functionality

After each fags we r using
1. BVA(boundary value analysis)
2. Equivalent partition (ECP)
3. Error gassing
4. Cause Effect Drafting

using this tacking we r writing the test cases.


Thanks

Hi there,

Maybe different user roles and privileges can be defined as categorization of Functional Testcases.

thx

[B][COLOR="Blue"]I think question is not how we write test cases, question is how we categorize them?[/COLOR][/B]

[B][COLOR="Red"]I am not getting your answer will you explain it a little bit more...?[/COLOR][/B]

Thanks anil the modified version is :

1. User interface
2. useability
3. validity of flow
4. functionality
5.Field level validation

After each fags we r using
1. BVA(boundary value analysis)
2. Equivalent partition (ECP)
3. Error gassing
4. Cause Effect Drafting

using this tacking we r writing the test cases.
