The Evil Tester Show - Software Testing and Development with Attitude

The Test Cases and Scripts Episode

Software Testing is often taught with a focus on Test Cases and Test Scripts. But this is the 2025, we don't test like it's 1984 any more. Let's revisit how we model testing and create a more effective test process.

The most common Testing Entities that I've encountered over the years are:

  • Test Condition
  • Test Scenario
  • Test Case
  • Test Script

In my Testing I pretty much now have:

  • Test Idea
  • Test Log (Execution Log)

Is there any value in the original Testing Entities? There might be if we view them as logical concepts, but not really as physical artifacts.
