Overview

Test case design turns the standard and feature testing checklists into concrete cases — covering the affected areas, positive and negative paths, edge cases, and performance criteria — so testing catches real defects rather than confirming the happy path.

Why This Exists

Ad-hoc testing finds shallow bugs and misses the ones that hurt. Deliberately designed cases make coverage visible, repeatable, and reviewable, and give automation something solid to build on.
