This is HBT Series Workshop details on Effective Review of Test Cases, presented by CleanSoft Academy. The workshop is delivered in two modes - open workshop (1 day) and as corporate workshop tailored to meet specific needs of software companies.

1. Effective review of test cases
A HBT Series Workshop

2. Good defects are the result of effective test
cases.
This workshop takes a scientific
approach to assessing the
effectiveness and efficiency
aspects of test cases.
Test effectiveness is a function
of quantity & quality of test scenarios/cases.
Assessing if the designed scenarios/cases
are indeed adequate is seen as a serious challenge..
A deep business domain & technical knowledge is seen as a
critical enabler, however these seem to be in short supply.

3. Can a scientific approach lessen the dependency
on domain knowledge?
This workshop outlines a scientific approach to assess the quality of
test scenarios/cases by applying a goal centered view to testing -
“What types of defects should I uncover”?
Having identified scientifically the potential defect types to be
uncovered, we can assess if these can be indeed uncovered by the
designed test cases.
Fault coverage, countability, level-ization, test type segregation, +/-
distribution analysis, complexity analysis, automation fitness,are
some of the means for reviewing the effectiveness & efficient.
This is in addition to requirements coverage.
Answer: Yes. A scientific approach de-skills.

4. “Effective review of test cases”
is Powered by HBT
The structure in addition to the information content of test Level
scenarios/cases play a vital part in measure completeness
and optimizing the execution of test cases. Item
Hypothesis Based Testing (HBT), a personal scientific test Type
methodology powered by STEMTM has a well-formed
architecture for test scenarios/cases and this is used as the Priority
basis for scientific assessments.
Focus
The HBT Test Case Architecture slices the scenarios/cases in
multiple ways and allows one to see the gaps in the designed Stage
scenarios/cases.
Frequency
Organized by Quality levels
sub-ordered by items (features/modules..), Order
segregated by type,
ranked by importance/priority,
sub-divided into conformance(+) and robustness(-), Mode
classified by early (smoke)/late-stage evaluation,
tagged by evaluation frequency,
linked by optimal execution order,
classified by execution mode (manual/automated)

6. Takeaways from the workshop
View the test cases from a defect-finding point of view.
“Produce better bait” to catch the fish! I.e detect defects.
Able to review rapidly and effectively by applying a scientific
method.
Analyze if the information content is execution-optimized and
automation-friendly.
