Learn the idea

Testing checks whether a program’s observed response meets its intended behavior. A paper story test states the event, expected response and actual response. A mismatch names a specific defect. A passing single case supports that case; it does not prove every route works.

Compare the actual response with the expectation for the same event. A nice-looking screen does not prove its links and controls work.

Use this supplied case: Back expected Menu and actually opens Menu. Classify the paper test. Use the details in this example. Say which detail helped you choose. This pretend example does not tell us how every real system works.

  1. Follow the worked example one step at a time. Say or draw what happens.
  2. Compare the actual response with the expectation for the same event.
  3. Say which detail makes the example answer fit. Pick another answer and say why it does not fit.
  4. Try the question and practice questions. Read the rule again if your answer does not match the explanation.

Testing checks whether a program’s observed response meets its intended behavior. A paper story test states the event, expected response and actual response. A mismatch names a specific defect.

Take it further

Test expected Home→Menu, but actual Home→Room. Expected: report that concrete destination defect and retest after a justified correction.
