Developing Test Cases From Use Cases & Requirement Specifications

Use cases and requirement specifications can be used to develop test cases. Use cases describe interactions between users and a system from the user's perspective through scenarios like normal, alternative, and exception paths. Test cases validate that a system meets specified requirements by testing behaviors described in use case scenarios.

What is a use case?

• A requirements modeling technique

• Describes the system's actions from the point of view of a user

• Tells a story on the interactions of a user with the system

• It is oriented toward satisfying a user's goal

Use case symbols

• System

• Actor

• Relationship
Include Relationship • The linkage is based on a compulsory relationship.
Extend Relationship • Linking an optional use case to a standard use case.
Basic components of a
Use Case

• Name
• Actor(s)
• Preconditions
• Normal Flow of Events
• Alternative Path(s)
• Exception Path(s)
• Post Conditions
Sample Use Case
A technique in which test cases are
developed from the scenarios of use
cases.

What is Use
Case Testing?
Use Case Relationship to Test Cases

• Use cases provide a good starting


point for the design of test cases

• Which will be used to test that the


system meets the specified
requirements.
What is Use
Case
Testing?
A technique in which test
cases are developed from
the scenarios of use cases.
What are use
case scenarios or
paths?
It represents a possible path
through a use case specification
and there are 3 types:

• Normal Path
• Alternative Path
• Exception Path
Sample Use Case
LOGIN Use Case and Scenario Paths
Exception Path 1
3. System validates username
3a. Password screen not displayed due to
incorrect username
3b. System displays "Account Not Found"

Normal Path
1. System displays login page
2. User enters username
3. System validates username
4. User enters password
5. System validates password
6. Successful login

Exception Path 2
5. System validates password
3a. Unsuccessful login due to incorrect password
3b. System displays "Wrong password. Try again
or click ‘Forgot password’ to reset it"
