WorkDefinition Information

Test a Scenario

Description

A scenario is divided into test tasks as well as development tasks. These tasks are assigned to testers to develop and run test cases. The assignment of a scenario to test indicates that the functionality has been integrated into a build and is ready to be tested. Validating that a build reflects the functionality envisioned in the scenario requires an understanding of the scenario and its boundary conditions. Validation tests must be written to cover the complete functionality and the boundary conditions of the scenario. Validation tests are run until none are blocked. Bugs are created to report any bugs that were found.
