The Test Basis refers to the sources that guide the creation of test cases. It provides the foundation for understanding what needs to be tested and how.
Common Sources:
- Business Requirements: Documents outlining what the software should achieve.
- Design Specifications: Technical details about how the software is structured.
- High-Level Design (HLD): Overview of system architecture and components.
- Low-Level Design (LLD): Detailed design specifications for individual components.
Using a clear test basis ensures that test cases are relevant, comprehensive and aligned with project goals.
