Writing test cases is the art every software testing company employee must overwhelm. It’s not a secret that this work takes the major part of all the tester’s activities, so this skill is mastered every day. Good written test case is the formula for successful testing.
Test cases are obligatory for function testing[1] and system testing performance. For usability testing[2], they differ a little. Actually, there is only one checking type that doesn’t require them: exploratory testing[3]. But it doesn’t matter for what testing type the cases are meant, the secrets of good test case writing are the same.
