Q: preview test can replace the test execution?
A: The problem is I am making it up, I think probably no one would really think:), but in answer to this question, I want to describe as accurately as possible the scope of test rehearsal methods: As previouslymentioned, the test case preview is a "virtual" test case execution method, because the main form of interaction is through word of mouth, it limits the depth of the method is applicable, in general, the more intuitive for the business logic of use casesThis method can be used, particularly those involving large numbers of users to interact with complex cases, using this method is very effective, analog test engineers or equipment made possible the normal exceptions, it is easy to find loopholes in the procedures.But for those who need to involve a large number of ground handling use cases, test engineers typically less likely to have very clear understanding of its mechanism, so in this way is difficult to find the problem.
Q: In what situations can preview the test case to use?
A: test preview of the applications are no special requirements, but at least double to ensure that communication is a suitable occasion, not too much disturbed, the two sides are in a state of positive thinking can be so on it.In my experience, eating together, the two sides has no clear job content, or an informal review of the design time is a good time, but also take full account of the preferences of both parties, for example, some people do not like to eatwhen the discussion.In short, an occasion for couples to communicate is the minimum requirement.
Q: preview test method can be used in other places?
A: neutron gun just invented, scientists are feverishly to find the neutron gun aimed at any thing; in accordance with this trend, test cases must be considered rehearsal methods can be applied to other places:) In fact,Preview this method in the evaluation process of the game, or thinking has been widely used, test preview preview this approach will only ever need to use a real implementation of the field, in addition to test execution aspect of the design review processWe can also use this method for design review, the key question lies in the skills: "If we do this, your design will react?."
Q: if I use the preview test case is very difficult to achieve the desired goals?
A: preview test method is not without preconditions, at least to ensure that the following conditions to make the test case to play a larger role in rehearsal:
Development engineer with a good sense;
Test Engineer of the product has a good familiarity;
Questioner question must be, "If I do, the program will react," began;
Engineers involved in the development of rehearsal for the preview module involved the use cases to be very familiar with;
Among them, the test engineer has a good familiarity with the product is necessary, test rehearsal for the main object is the business logic of the use case, which requires test engineers familiar with the product, familiar with the business.The so-called "matched in a contest," energy and development engineer at least a level of.In addition, engineers must be involved in the development of rehearsal for the preview of the modules involved in the use cases are familiar, if the engineers involved in the development of rehearsal is the natural module developers no problem, if not to require developers to engineer must be able to accurately understand the behavior of the module andachieved.
