    &lt;strong&gt;Test Ideas List&lt;/strong&gt; - A list of brief statements identifying tests that are potentially useful to conduct.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    &lt;strong&gt;Test Ideas Catalog&lt;/strong&gt; - A catalog of common faults and mistakes done when developing software.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
        Test Ideas will describe any of the elements of an executable test.&amp;nbsp;
    &lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
        Test ideas ensure the important ideas are not forgotten and are detailed later in test cases.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
    &lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
        Test Ideas are to be captured at a less-specific level in an intermediate form.
    &lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
        Test ideas are more reviewable and understandable then complete tests.&amp;nbsp; Making the reasoning behind the test
        idea clearer.&amp;nbsp;
    &lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
        Test ideas support more powerful test, by not constraining the tester.&amp;nbsp; Making it easier to create tests that
        validate more then just the defined requirements.
    &lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
        Test Ideas are often based on explicit and implicit fault modules, to include but not limited to Booleans,
        boundaries and method calls.&amp;nbsp; Test Ideas Lists will contain test ideas from many faults models derived for one
        or many work products.
    &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    Creating test ideas before testing for review and inspection of design work products assists in discovering design or
    analysis errors.
