Test Cases for Software

"Designed for Microsoft Windows XP" Application Test Framework defines tests that verify compliance with the Windows Logo Program requirements. Each test case provides step-by-step procedures and also explains the rationale for the test in the context of the Logo Program.

Test Case Organization. Each test case in the Test Framework has a number that corresponds to the Logo Program requirement it tests, plus a descriptive title in the form of question. Some requirements need more than one test case. For example:

TC2.1 Does the installation finish without any Windows File Protection messages appearing?

TC1.1.6.1 Does application crash when trying to print when no printer is installed?

Some test cases have several parts that may be run at different times in your test plan. Some test cases ask the question, "Did this specific thing happen at any time while you ran your application?" Those test cases are "executed" for the entire time you run your application, and you can only verify that your application passed or failed each test when you’ve finished all your testing.

Pass and Fail. Each test case has "Pass" and "Fail" conditions.

Note: A "Fail" for any one of the test cases for any one of the Logo Program requirements disqualifies the application for the "Designed for Windows XP" Logo.

For some tests, there are additional answers such as, "The test application does not install the functionality tested." An application for which one of these answers applies is not disqualified from receiving the "Designed for Windows XP" Logo.

You can organize the test cases into a test plan that best suits your application. An example test plan is provided in the Test Framework document.
