Let’s continue with our example
from Paths.
These path combinations are our
test situations.
1- Identifying test situations
The first step is identifying path combinations
as seen in Coverage type Paths

2- Creating logical test cases
- Creating a set of logical test cases
Go through the process from
“Start” to “End”, as long as all the
test situations are covered at least
once.

TC1 (1-2-5-3-4-7):
•A1-1 Create claim form (Insured)
•A1-2 Enter claim form details into the system
(incomplete) (Employee)
•A1-3 Start the process “Check for completeness”
(Employee)

TC1 (1-2-5-3-4-7):
Insured party
•A1-1 Create claim form with following details:
•Name : Smith, J.
•Etc.
Employee
•A1-2 Enter claim form details into the system
(without “Date of loss” and without
“Description of loss”)
•A1-3 Start “Check for completeness” process (form
is incomplete)
•A1-4 Contact insured party to obtain “Date of loss”
•Etc.
