Introduction to Test Design

What is Test Design?

Test design is the process of translating requirements, specifications, or scenarios into concrete test cases and test data that can verify whether the software behaves as expected.

Why Test Design Matters

Well-designed tests find more real defects with fewer test cases, by systematically covering the right combinations of inputs, conditions, and edge cases rather than testing randomly.

What This Module Covers

This module explores designing tests from requirements and scenarios, formal test design techniques, separating data from scripts, code-based test design, and choosing which tests are good candidates for automation.
