Q11.8: What happens if I do not do this?
Question Eight
If inaction is critical, it must be known and clearly understood.
This is a key question that can cover multiple areas. The first thing it does is help determine the value and priority of the feature or function under test, within the overall solution.
It provides a clearer understanding of the business workflow, allowing a tester to make a more educated call on test case coverage.
It also improves a tester’s ability to script based on usability. They can cover the system response when an action is not taken rather than just done incorrectly, and validate how a user is informed.
