1. Core Principles

✅ Clarity: Each test case should clearly define the purpose, input, and expected output.
✅ Reusability: Design tests to be reusable across different scenarios or modules.
✅ Independence: Ensure test cases are self-contained and do not rely on others to execute.
✅ Maintainability: Keep test cases simple and easy to update as requirements evolve.

2. Test Types to Cover

  • Unit Testing (🤖): Test individual components or functions in isolation.
  • Integration Testing (🔗): Validate interactions between integrated modules.
  • System Testing (🌐): Ensure the entire system meets specified requirements.
  • Regression Testing (🔄): Confirm changes do not break existing functionality.

3. Tools & Frameworks

🛠️ Use tools like Postman for API testing or Selenium for UI automation.
🛠️ Frameworks such as JUnit (Java) or PyTest (Python) can streamline test creation and execution.

4. Tips for Effective Design

  • Prioritize Critical Paths: Focus on high-risk areas and core functionalities.
  • Use Data-Driven Approaches: Parametrize inputs to cover multiple scenarios efficiently.
  • Document Assumptions: Clearly note any prerequisites or external dependencies.
