A basic structure of the pro-forma shall be discussed later.


2. How to improve your chances @EGentingc. Test Design Techniques

Incorporate test cases based on i. Black box ii. White box


Sample Specification:The XYZ Company would like to have a program that receives an employee's details, calculates the employee's total annual cost of employment, and then stores the employee details as well as the total cost in a database. In addition to the employee's salary, the total cost of employment includes such costs as the employer's contribution to the EPF, insurance, and software licenses.The Cost of Employment Calculator must receive the following information in an Employee Profile Creation form:1. employee number;2. employee name;3. employee designation;4. monthly salary.


Sample Specification (contd…):The Employee Profile Creation form should look like Figure 1 below:


Sample Specification (contd…):The valid data types and ranges for the received information are in Table 1 below:

Table 1 – Data types and ranges

Field Type Range Compulsory?

Employee Number Integer 1 - 9999 Yes

Name Alphanumeric 40 characters Yes

Designation Short Drop down box with enumerated values:MANAGER=0EXECUTIVE=1UNKNOWN=2

Yes

Monthly Salary Integer 1-2,147,483,647 Yes


Sample Specification (contd…):The employee number for each employee must be unique. The employee number range from 8000 to 9999 must be reserved for Managers.The Cost of Employment Calculator must calculate the employee's annual total cost of employment from the above entered information. The formula used to calculate the total cost of employment is:Total cost = (12*monthly_salary) + paid_leave + insurance + epf_contribution + licence_costwhere:

monthly_salary: is the employee's monthly salary. paid_leave: is the cost of the employee's annual paid leave as per Table 2

below:

Table 2 - Cost of Annual Paid Leave by Employee Designation

Employee Designation Cost of Annual Paid Leave

Executive 18 * daily salary

Manager 21 * daily salary


Sample Specification (contd…):Insurance: is the cost of the employee's insurance policy. The cost is 5.3% of the employee's annual salary.epf_contribution: is the cost of the employer's contribution to the employee's EPF account, as per Table 3 below:

Table 3 - Cost of EPF Contribution by Employee Designationlicense cost: is the cost of the license for the specialised software that the employee uses. Only managers use this software at a cost of RM 1,200 per license. Non-managers do not use the software and have a licensing cost of 0.

Employee Designation Cost of EPF Contribution

Executive 13% of annual salary

Manager 12% of annual salary


Sample Specification (contd…):When the 'Submit' button is clicked, the Cost of Employment Calculator must calculate the employee's annual total cost of employment and display it in a Confirmation of Creation page which must show the following information:1. employee number;2. employee name;3. designation;4. monthly salary;5. annual total cost of employment.


Sample Specification (contd…):The Confirmation of Creation page should look like Figure 2 below:

When the 'Back' button is clicked, the Cost of Employment Calculator must close the Confirmation of Creation page and return to the Employee Profile Creation page.


Sample Specification (contd…):When the 'Confirm' button is clicked, the Cost of Employment Calculator must verify that the employee's annual total cost of employment does not exceed the maximum annual total cost of employment as per Table 4:

Table 4 - Maximum annual total cost of employment by employee designation

If the employee's annual total cost of employment does not exceed the maximum values allowed, the Cost of Employment Calculator must insert the employee record into the database.

Employee Designation Maximum annual total cost of employment

Manager 300,000

Executive 150,000


Spec: The system must have an employee profile creation page

# Test Cases Expected Output Result1 Initialise the system The “Employee Profile

Creation” form must be displayed

Pass/Fail


Spec: The employee profile creation form should look like Figure 1

# Test Cases Expected Output Result1 Examine “The employee profile

creation” formThe look and feel of the employee profile creation page should resemble Figure 1 displayed in the specification.

Pass/Fail


Spec: The system must receive the following information…

# Test Cases Expected Output Result1 Examine the fields in the

employee profile creation formThe employee profile creation form must have the following fields:1. Employee Number2. Name3. Designation4. Monthly salary5. Submit button

Pass/Fail


Spec: The employee number for each employee must be unique

# Test Cases Expected Output Result1 Submit the form with an

employee number for which a record exists. Eg: 1000

The system must reject the form submission

Pass/Fail


Spec: The Cost of Employment Calculator must calculate the employee's annual total cost of employment from the above entered information.

# Test Cases Expected Output Result1 Submit the form with:

i. Employee number = 8000ii. Name = Blueiii. Designation = Manageriv. Monthly Salary = 1000

The annual cost of employment must be equal to 16096(Reference formula: Total cost = (12*1000) + (21*(1000/30)) + (5.3% * 12*1000) + (12%* 12000) + 1200

Pass/Fail

2. How to improve your chances @EGentingd. Test case alignment with test objective

Group test cases of similar nature under the same test objective.

Objective: To verify the user interface

Objective: To verify the database


2. How to improve your chances @EGentinge. Time management - specification coverage and

documentation

While detailed documentation could assist the evaluator to understand what / how you intended to test, it is equally important that a balance is drawn, between covering sections of the specification and documentation.


2. How to improve your chances @EGentingf. Creative thinking

While its always safe to play by the book, sometimes you can score brownies for creative thinking as well.Understand the nature of the product that is intended to be tested. Is there anything else, that is not part of the specification but could possibly lead to a bug?


2. How to improve your chances @EGentingf. Handwriting

A clear and clean work won’t give you brownies but would help evaluators to read and understand what you wrote.

Help us to give you the best possible evaluation.


3. Sample pro-forma– The sample pro-forma is what it says, “sample”.– You are free to discard it / use it as it is / change

any part of it / remove any part from it


3. Sample pro-formaa. Test cases

A. Objective: To verify the user interface

# Test Cases Expected Output Result1 Verify the available options in

the “Designation” drop down field

Only the following options must be present:1. Manager2. Executive3. Unknown

Pass/FAIL


4. Marking SchemeA. Efficient test cases

Are the resources spent to execute test case optimum enough to find a bug?

B. Effective test casesIs the test case effective enough to find a

probable bug?

How well the test case verify that the system satisfy the specification?
