Initial Functional Test Cases for Example ATM System

The following initial test cases can be identified early in the design process as a vehicle for checking that the implementation is basically correct. No attempt has been made at this point to do thorough testing, including all possible errors and boundary cases. That needs to come later. These cases represent an initial check that the functionality specified by the use cases is present. Some writers would argue for developing test cases like these in place of use cases. Here, they are presented as a vehicle for "fleshing out" the use cases, not as a substitute for them. Use Case System Startup System Startup System Startup System Shutdown System Shutdown Function Being Tested System is started when the switch is turned "on" Initial System State System is off Input Activate the "on" switch Enter a legitimate amount Expected Output System requests initial cash amount System is on

System is System accepts initial requesting cash cash amount amount Connection to the bank is established System is shut down when the switch is turned "off" Connection to the Bank is terminated when the system is shut down System has just been turned on System is on and not servicing a customer System has just been shut down
