Test Case Design

Test cases should be designed in such a way as to uncover quickly and easily as many errors as possible. They should "exercise" the program by using and producing inputs and outputs that are both correct and incorrect. Variables should be tested using all possible values (for small ranges) or typical and out-of-bound values (for larger ranges). They should also be tested using valid and invalid types and conditions. Arithmetical and logical comparisons should be examined as well, again using both correct and incorrect parameters. The objective is to test all modules and then the whole system as completely as possible using a reasonably wide range of conditions.
