The Test Cases and Scripts Episode

Software Testing is often taught with a focus on Test Cases and Test Scripts. But this is the 2025, we don't test like it's 1984 any more. Let's revisit how we model testing and create a more effective test process. The most common Testing Entities that I've encountered over the years are: Test Condition Test Scenario Test Case Test Script In my Testing I pretty much now have: Test Idea Test Log (Execution Log) Is there any value in the original Testing Entities? There might be if we view them as logical concepts, but not really as physical artifacts.

Software Testing is often taught with a focus on Test Cases and Test Scripts. But this is the 2025, we don't test like it's 1984 any more. Let's revisit how we model testing and create a more effective test process.

The most common Testing Entities that I've encountered over the years are:

  • Test Condition
  • Test Scenario
  • Test Case
  • Test Script

In my Testing I pretty much now have:

  • Test Idea
  • Test Log (Execution Log)

Is there any value in the original Testing Entities? There might be if we view them as logical concepts, but not really as physical artifacts.
