Boost Foundation Thinking around Building out Better Test Cases and Improving In-Spring Testing - a Curiosity Software Series.
Why focus on the 'art of modelling' rather than just getting stuck in with the software? We listened to customers and evolved this feedback to date deeper dives, while also stepping back to explore best practice techniques.
Test Case Vocabulary
1.1 About the Art of Modelling
Take deeper dives, but also step back and explore universal best practice!
Whether a developer, business analyst or tester, you are no doubt an end user...
1.3 Enable Exploratory Modelling
Whether a developer, business analyst or tester, you are no doubt an end user...
Modelling UI’s
In the model, you see how different (user) Journeys get tracked.
Modelling upfront is a key part of Test or Behaviour-Driven Development for Generating User Stories....
As a UI evolves according to Requirements, a model gives a focus for different stakeholders to collaborate.
Model Common Understanding
Decision Gates get laid down on the Quality Modeller canvas to serve the nodes to Generate Tests.
3.2 Be Mindful of Decision Gates
Use a visual representation to garner attention on the business process you are concerned with.
3.3 Overlay Logics to Reduce Repetition
Boolean states are a more embedded solution, though less overtly visualized.
Coverage in Test Case Design
4.1 Align Collaborative Effort
How collaborative effort impacts the Test Case Design & Coverage you're able to achieve within your tests.
A glance at using Coverage Profiles on a simple model to make sure we're getting highly efficient tests.
An end-to-end test flow using Coverage to target the kind of tests we want for a very specific Use Case.
Form, Cause & Change
Test Scenarios as Subflows means very complex logic is tied into a much simpler, understandable flow.
5.2 Verify your Business Logic
We can use the inventory check screen as an example. Since this can be considered crucial functionality.
Teams to react significantly faster by mapping changes onto the model and regenerate the associated assets.
