Follow-Up Test Case

A Follow-Up Test Case is part of metamorphic testing. It is created by applying a metamorphic relation to an existing test case.

Key Aspects:

1. Derived from a source test case

2. Uses metamorphic relations

3. Helps detect software defects

4. Expands test coverage

5. Useful for testing complex systems

Process of Creating Follow-Up Test Cases:

1. Identify metamorphic relations

2. Select source test cases

3. Apply relations to generate new cases

4. Execute both source and follow-up cases

5. Compare results to verify correctness

Follow-up test cases are particularly useful when testing systems where determining the correct output is difficult or impossible.
