Designing Unit Test Cases

Executive Summary
Producing a test specification, including the design of test cases, is the level of test design
which has the highest degree of creative input. Furthermore, unit test specifications will
usually be produced by a large number of staff with a wide range of experience, not just a
few experts.
This paper provides a general process for developing unit test specifications and then
describes some specific design techniques for designing unit test cases. It serves as a tutorial
for developers who are new to formal testing of software, and as a reminder of some finer
points for experienced software testers.
