Details Test cases design
« on: May 22, 2003, 03:05:27 am »
Do someone have any proposition(s) about the following problem?:

Our challenge is to design testcases with an execution status (pass/fail/...) that can be set at the (lower) level of the step (and not at the higher level of the test cases). Our test cases contain between 8 to 25 steps (mean is 15 steps)

Test cases structure exemple:

Test case1:
Step 1a / Instruction 1a /Expected Results 1a /Actual results 1a
Step 1b/Instruction 1b/Expected Results 1b/Actual results 1b
Step 1c/.....

Test case2:
Step 2a/...
Step 2b/....
Step 2c/

In EA  "test details" window, it seems that we can only put ALL the steps of a test case in a UNIQUE tab (ex: step1a, step1b, step1c...in the "input" tab).

Problem1: We can only say "test case1" pass or fail and not "step1a = pass", step 1b = fail"...
Question1: Would someone have a solution to design this kind of detailed testcase + steps in EA?

Problem2: We need also to print a report with the following colomns (the reporting template for testing documentation has already the colomn [ok] or do not have [NOK]):
Test case name (ok)
Test step number (NOK)
Object (ok)
Test type (ok)
Current status (ok)
Description / "test description"  (ok)
Input / "instruction" (ok)
Acceptance criteria / "Expected results"
Results detail /"Execution results"

The only colomn that we missed is "test step".
Question2: Do someone have any idea how to generate a report which could include the only colomn missing (Test step number)

I would really appreciate any feedbacks

Thanks a lot

Mr Piche
