Q: What is the difference between test cases and test scripts?

A: Test cases describe what you want(Functionality) to test. Test scripts describe how to perform
the test. A test case typically describes detailed test conditions that are designed to produce
an expected result. Test scripts also contain expected results, but usually in more general terms.
A distinction must also be made between manual and automated test scripts. Automated test
scripts are sometimes referred to as test procedures. These automated test scripts or
procedures closely resemble source code. In fact, they are software testing software. In test
automation, a test script may be placed in a loop and read many different test cases from test
data files. You can also carry this concept to manual test scripts by keeping the test script free
of specific test data.

Q: Are business users typically agreeable to perform user acceptance testing?

A: Much of the answer has to do with the organizational culture. In some organizations, the users
are eager and willing, but IS does not want them involved. In other organizations the opposite is
true. I have found that users are agreeable to perform testing IF 1) they do not have to perform
their regular job duties at a full-time level and 2) their contribution is rewarded by the
organization.

Q: Can developers actually do a good job of testing?

A: Yes! Most developers can be trained to be excellent testers. To make this happen they need: 1)
a good unit testing process, 2) the ability to test a peer's work when they lose the "independent
eye.", and 3) management support to build testing time into the schedule. The buddy system for
developer testing is a great way to test during development and still maintain objectivity
