ChatGPT Best Practices for Test Case Generation (IV)

An external review of test cases should also normally be conducted. Inform project team members of the location where the completed functional and security test case sets based on Baidu's keyword search business are stored. It is necessary to reserve a certain amount of time for the project team's R&D and product personnel to read them, so as not to take up too much time to familiarize themselves with the contents of the relevant test cases in the project team's test case review meeting. In the project team test case review meeting, the relevant personnel actively review the test cases and put forward the following points.

1) For the test cases TC008, TC019 and TC023, the product staff clarified the characters of the search input box, i.e., whether it is Chinese or English characters, the maximum number of input characters is 100, whether it is Chinese characters, English characters or a mixture of Chinese and English characters, the front and back ends need to do the check, if the front-end input is more than 100 characters, the first 100 characters will be automatically intercepted. If the front-end input exceeds 100 characters, the first 100 characters will be automatically intercepted.

2) For the test case TC016, the product staff clarified the requirements, i.e., the SQL injection statement will be filtered and processed as ordinary text, and at the same time, the back-end developers also clarified the existence of users table.

3) For test case TC023, the product staff clarified the requirement that there is no limit to the number of search results.

Limited to space, the author only lists a few review comments, the test team for the product staff and R & D staff put forward the review of the comments made by the relevant test cases to amend the problem, the formation of the new Baidu keyword search business based on the functionality of the security test case set, as shown in Table 3-2.

Test case review and improvement is an ongoing process. As projects evolve, requirements change and new features are added, test cases must be constantly updated and optimized. This requires not only a high degree of agility and adaptability on the part of the test team, but also an in-depth understanding of the business and technology.
