8.8.11 Inter-Case Dependencies
List the identifiers of test cases which should be executed before this test case. Summarize the nature of
the dependencies.
8.9 Test Procedure Specification
This document specifies4 any steps for executing a set of test cases or, more generally, the steps used to
analyze a software item in order to evaluate a set of features. This document should be written for
example when:
??? A third-party supplier sends a test pack with a release
??? When a set of system tests is to be archived, such that staff unfamiliar with the tests can use them
??? When a test pack is created from a set of test fragments to cover a particular release or a particular
configuration
4 Again, this example is used as a template so you can use it as a requirements specification for the tool you will
choose (hopefully).
152 Manage Software Testing
Refer to the associated test-design specification. A test-procedure specification should address the following:
??? The configuration or release for which it is intended
??? How to set up the tests
??? How to start executing the tests
??? How to proceed
??? How to perform measurements
??? How, why, and when to suspend, restart, or stop testing
8.9.1 Purpose
Describe the purpose of this procedure. If this procedure executes any test cases, refer to each of them.
In addition, provide references to relevant sections of the test item documents (for example, references
to procedures for use).
