Test Cases Support

When it comes to testing, you cannot do without the test cases. They are very important. Why? They are the first step to be taken to start testing process. They show the testers the way the new app should be explored and make the testing efforts more effective. Test cases contain a set of steps and conditions that helps the tester to understand whether the system works as expected or not.

Everybody knows that effective test case can help you to find the bugs in the app design or its specification. That is why there are many books devoted to developing test case writing skills. It appears that it is better to spend time on test cases in the beginning of the testing process than to wonder though app’s pages with no idea what to check.
