Intro of Reusable Test Scenarios/cases on Mindmap

Would you like to be an instant testing expert, able to start testing effectively in new situations without delay?

Would you like to spend more of your time running tests and less of your time creating the test cases? Reusable test scenarios make it possible.

Reusable test scenario is a systematic and graphical structured proactive testing approach that enables you to design much more thorough tests than traditional methods.

I have created few reusable test scenarios on different topics using Mind Manager, which will help you in creating test cases.

What you can do :
1. Refer created mindmaps for creation of test cases.
2. From your current work, on any topic, take out the reusable element/cases and put it on mindmap.
3. Share your created mindmap with me.


Reusable test scenarios can be considered to create generic test cases.

In my following post, I will share few mindmaps which included maximum test cases/scenarios on some topics.
