How to use the Test Case Template Generator
- 1. Name the testEnter the module, number, title, type and priority.
- 2. Add preconditions and dataList what must be true before you start and the data you use.
- 3. Write stepsOne step per line as action | expected result, then download the CSV.
Anatomy of a test case
A test case is a set of steps with an expected result, so anyone can run it and decide pass or fail without asking the author. The tool builds the ID from the module and number, so Login and number 1 become TC-LOGIN-001. Each step line is split at the | sign into an action and its expected result, and a step without an expected result is flagged.
- Title starts with a verb: Verify, Check, Validate.
- Preconditions describe the starting state, such as an active account.
- Test data lists the exact inputs.
- Actual result and status columns are left empty for the person who runs it.
Writing test cases that last
Keep one purpose per test case. If a title needs "and", it is probably two tests. Write expected results that can be checked objectively, such as "user lands on /dashboard and sees their name" rather than "login works". Cover the negative cases too: wrong password, blank fields, locked account.
The CSV has one row per step with the test details on the first row, a layout most teams use in Excel and that many test management tools accept on import with column mapping. Avoid real customer data in test data; use dummy accounts. Find the right values to test with the boundary value analysis calculator and the equivalence partitioning tool.
Frequently asked questions
Can I make many test cases at once?
Make them one at a time and change the number each time. The IDs stay consistent, so the CSVs combine easily.
Does it work for API tests?
Yes. Write the request as the action and the status code and response as the expected result.
Is the Test Case Template Generator free?
Yes, the Test Case Template Generator is free. The first time you generate your first test case, you are asked for your name and WhatsApp number once. After that, this and every other Uncodemy tool opens straight away without the form.
