Test Case Design

Effective test case design is crucial for validating business requirements in software applications. Key components include the identification and mapping of test cases through a Requirement Traceability Matrix (RTM) to ensure comprehensive coverage. Additionally, defect reporting plays a significant role in identifying and addressing discrepancies between the expected and actual system behavior, further emphasizing the BA's involvement in ensuring both functionality and value.
