System Test Case

[Niju]

hi

I have a web based application with ASP/COM/MTS/IIS/Windows NT/SQL Server
Environment.

My task is to write System test case for the application.
I really am unable to make out what to write in a system test case.

Please consider as a simple intranet application in ASP

It would be really helpful if some1 could really tell me what a system test
case should contain.
I donot require the template but an idea on the contents

Niju,

Understanding the different types of tests my help. Testing can really be
broken down into two major categories: Unit/String testing and System
Testing.

1) Unit/String Testing: A unit test ensures that functions and features of a
single unit of code maintain their current functionality. A string test
involves the testing of two or more programs with each other.

2) System Testing: Sequences of tests that encompass selected components of
an application and ensures that applications function correctly while
bridging to all identified external applications.

Types of System Tests: Regression, Integration, Interoperability,
Performance/Stress, Volume, Storage, Recovery, Security, Acceptance
etc...You will need to narrow down exactly which of these tests that you
will want to cover in your document. *** Since you are looking at a simple
Intranet application, you should really focus on Acceptance testing (making
sure that the application does what the users want it to do), Regression
testing (making sure functionality has stayed the same between
modifications/enhancements), and Performance/Stress testing (making sure
that the application performs as expected under typical loads).

I hope that this helps (and that I didn't confuse you more)!

Regards,
JZ
