Yousuf Khan Nov 12, 2023 at 11:14 AMHello Telkom University, Thank you for sharing your concern here. The step-1 of this article ensures setting up the format and the integrity and accuracy of test cases of the testing process. However, I will list some additional approaches you can take to maintain the integrity and accuracy of test cases: 1. Worksheet Protection: Approach: Protect worksheets with a password. Limit access permissions to authorized team members. Regularly review and update access rights based on the testing. 2. Data Validation: Approach: Set up data validation rules in Excel. Specify allowed data types and values for each cell. This prevents errors caused by incorrect data entries during testing. 3. Cell Comments and Documentation: Approach: Add comments to cells for additional information. Maintain a separate documentation sheet detailing test case specifics, ensuring clarity for team members. 4. Consistent Formatting: Approach: Establish a consistent format for your Excel sheets. Use the same font styles, colors, and cell formatting throughout. Consistency enhances readability and reduces confusion. 5. Regular Reviews: Approach: Schedule regular team reviews of the Excel sheets. Discuss any updates or changes to ensure everyone is aligned. Use this as an opportunity to address questions and concerns. 6. Backup: Approach: Regularly back up your Excel sheets to a secure location. Cloud storage is a good option. This ensures data recovery in case of accidental changes. 7. Excel Features: Approach: Use Excel features like Named ranges, filters, and Conditional Formatting. These tools help organize and highlight critical information, making test cases more accessible. 8. Training and Documentation: Approach: Conduct training sessions on Excel usage and the established processes. Document guidelines for creating, updating, and maintaining test cases. Take these steps to properly maintain the integrity and accuracy of the test cases throughout the testing process for a banking application. Regards,
Yousuf Khan Shovon
