Describe a systematic approach to test design

Identify the benefits that we gained

• Test case review effort and defects

To „plant some ideas‟ for ways that you could do similarly

Describe how tools can help

• (common tools and test tools)

5. The System validates that all mandatory details have been entered, and all details have been

entered in the correct format [BR2].

5.1. IF mandatory details have not been provided and/or details have been entered in the incorrect

format the system displays an error message informing the Actor of the mandatory details

that must be provided and/or the invalid details that must be re-entered. [MSG0019]

5.1.1. The Actor acknowledges the message and the Use Case resumes at Basic Flow Step 2.

6. The System validates that a Person does not exist with the Email address provided.

6.1. IF an existing Person is found with the Email address provided, refer to AF1.

7. The system invokes UC96 Perform Postcode Address Lookup to search for the address

8. The System populates the address fields with the selected matching address and the Use Case

resumes at Step 9 of the Basic Flow.

8.1. IF no address matches the Post code entered, the system informs the Actor there are no

matching addresses, and prompts the Actor to confirm they have entered the correct Postcode

[MSG0049].

8.1.1. The Actor acknowledges the message indicating that the Post code they have entered is

correct and the Use Case resumes at Step 9 of the Basic Flow making editable the

Address fields to be populated by the Actor.

8.1.1.1. IF the Actor acknowledges the message indicating that the Post code they have

entered is incorrect, the Use Case resumes at Step 2 of the Basic Flow.

8.2. IF there are matching addresses but the Actor does not select one, the Use Case resumes at

Step 9 of the Basic Flow without populating the address but making editable the Address
