Practical Task 2: Part 1 – Test Design Techniques

Learning objectives: Develop a skill in the application of Test Design Techniques.

Form: Group work of 4-5 persons

Task: Please provide solutions for all the following parts –

Part A:

 At what test levels the given user story and its acceptance criteria can be tested?
 What test type(s) should be applied for each of the levels?
 Review the acceptance criteria for unambiguity.

Part B:

 Apply two different test design techniques to develop a set of test cases for
functional testing of two different acceptance criteria.

Case Description: The developed software increment (feature) implements a user story on
supporting feedback from users.

A user story:

As an online store user

I want to be able to submit a claim
So that the online store owners can consider my opinion on the quality of the purchased

Review of the accuracy of the acceptance criteria: describe here inaccuracies and
ambiguities.

Part B: Test Design Examples

 Test design techniques must be different in both cases.
