Test Case Document Formats
By G.E. MorrisOne
of the most important aspects of a test case document is its
readability, or simply put, how easy it is to read. Even a well written
document can be difficult to follow if it's not formated properly. Readability
for test documents is divided into two areas; how easy the document is
to read, and how easy it is for a tester to navigate through the
document. A
lot of startups, and even some more established companies use Excel
spreadsheets for their test case documents. While there are some
advantages with this approach, the documents tend to be hard to read
because there's no padding between the lines. |
Case Number | Action | Pass/Fail | 2.1.1 | Entry with a blank First Name results in an error message being displayed saying The First Name must be filled in. | | 2.2.1 | The First Name field will accept a maximum of 50 characters. | | 2.2.2 | First Name field will not accept more than 50 characters. | | 2.2.2 | If more than 50 characters are entered in The
First Name field an error message will be displayed saying "The First
Name field will not accept more than 50 characters." | | 2.3.1 | Entry with numbers in The First Name field
shall result in an error message being displayed saying "The First Name
field will not accept numbers." | | 2.4.2 | If any of the characters:
"`~!@#$%^&*()_:";'{}[]+<>?,./" are entered in The First Name
field an error message will be displayed saying "The First Name field
will not accept the characters
"`~!@#$%^&*()_:";'{}[]+<>?,./". | | 2.4.3 | First Name field will accept the character: "-". | |

Table 1
I couldn't count the times I've tested using a
document like this. I also couldn't count the times I lost my place in
the document. Now, here's the same document with the HTML table
padding set to "4". The text doesn't run together anymore, making it
much easier to read. If you're creating the document in Word, you can
use the paragraph settings to accomplish the same effect. Set the space
above and space below parameters to 6, and set the right and left
indents to .125. Case Number | Action | Pass/Fail | 2.1.1 | Entry with a blank First Name results in an error message being displayed saying The First Name must be filled in. | | 2.2.1 | The First Name field will accept a maximum of 50 characters. | | 2.2.2 | First Name field will not accept more than 50 characters. | | 2.2.3 | If more than 50 characters are entered in The
First Name field an error message will be displayed saying "The First
Name field will not accept more than 50 characters." | | 2.3.1 | Entry with numbers in The First Name field
shall result in an error message being displayed saying "The First Name
field will not accept numbers." | | 2.4.2 | If any of the characters:
"`~!@#$%^&*()_:";'{}[]+<>?,./" are entered in The First Name
field an error message will be displayed saying "The First Name field
will not accept the characters
"`~!@#$%^&*()_:";'{}[]+<>?,./". | | 2.4.3 | First Name field will accept the character: "-". | | | | |

Another improvement would be to add blank rows
between types of tests, and shaded lines, too. These features make it
much easier to navigate the test case document, so it's easy to plow
through the tests at a good clip. |
Case Number | Action | Pass/Fail | 2.1.0 | | | 2.1.1 | Entry with a blank First Name results in an error message being displayed saying The First Name must be filled in. | | | | | | | | 2.2.0 | | | 2.2.1 | The First Name field will accept a maximum of 50 characters. | |
2.2.2 | First Name field will not accept more than 50 characters. | | 2.2.3 | If more than 50 characters are entered in The
First Name field an error message will be displayed saying "The First
Name field will not accept more than 50 characters." | | | | | | | | 2.3.0 | | | 2.3.1 | Entry with numbers in The First Name field
shall result in an error message being displayed saying "The First Name
field will not accept numbers." | | | | | | | | 2.4.0 | | | 2.4.1 | If any of the characters:
"`~!@#$%^&*()_:";'{}[]+<>?,./" are entered in The First Name
field an error message will be displayed saying "The First Name field
will not accept the characters
"`~!@#$%^&*()_:";'{}[]+<>?,./". | | 2.4.3 | First Name field will accept the character: "-". | | | | | | | |
