Q: Give me some sample test cases you would write!
A: For instance, if one of the requirements is, "Brake lights shall be on, when the brake pedal is depressed", then, based on this one simple requirement, for starters, I would write all of the following test cases:
Test case number 101: "Inputs: The headlights are on. The brake pedal is depressed. Expected result: The brake lights are on. Verify that the brake lights are on, when the brake pedal is depressed."
Test case number 102: "Inputs: The left turn lights are on. The brake pedal is depressed. Expected result: The brake lights are on. Verify that the brake lights are on, when the brake pedal is depressed."
Test case number 103: "Inputs: The right turn lights are on. The brake pedal is depressed. Expected result: The brake lights are on. Verify that the brake lights are on, when the brake pedal is depressed."
As you might have guessed, in the work place, in real life, requirements are more complex than this one; and, just to verify this one, simple requirement, there is a need for many more test cases.
Q: Can I put one of your projects in my resume?
A: You've asked me for details of one of my projects so you could put those details in your resume. I would like to help you, but if I helped you, I would not be doing the right thing.
