Building test cases is about doing your best to find the worst in a program in order to deliver a quality product to the customer. Without a well-designed and executed test plan, the results can be catastrophic and very costly. For example,because of an error in the software, the first flight of the Ariane 5 rocket resulted in its complete destruction and the loss of four satellites at a cost of more than $370 million.
In the U.S. alone, software bugs cost the economy $59 billion2 back in 2002. Clearly, software defects must be found and corrected before unleashing new programs to the customer. This eBook provides you with a basic understanding of software test cases. In addition, the eBook describes proven methods for building test cases that uncover the most defects with the minimum of time, effort and money.

"Agile is an excellent opportunity for QA to take leadership of the processes. Rather than take a back seat while developers drive the ship, testers can now take the lead".
"Who else is better placed to bridge the gap to understand … what is required, how it can be achieved and how it can be assured prior to deployment? This requires tester to be be fluent in agile themselves".
With bold statements like these, I receive quite a few emails from testers with concerns about switching to agile. Continue to see TesterTroubles Q & A.
