 |
| <strong>Test Ideas List</strong> - A list of brief statements identifying tests that are potentially useful to conduct.
 |
| </p>
 |
| <p>
 |
| <strong>Test Ideas Catalog</strong> - A catalog of common faults and mistakes done when developing software.

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