Guidelines for Writing Effective Test Cases

These days, the big debate in Agile is whether you should have test cases at all. Some schools think they are a waste of time.

In simple terms, a test case is a list of actions that need to be executed to verify a particular functionality or feature of an application under test. Test cases can also be used as a document to help understand a product’s functionality. However, how much is enough  and how much is too much?
