Does anyone know anything about designing software black box test cases?

I just want to check I'm on the right lines with my assignment?

Best way I guess is to share a document with you. You say if I'm headed in the right direction.

My assignment is to "design a set of black box test cases for the app." for which we've been given a fairly vague specification.

Thanks a lot

Feel free to ping it to me. Pretty straight forward stuff so I can't see how you can be that far off the right lines. Just means you write the tests without knowing the inner workings of the app.

e.g. given a particular input, what output are you expecting.

Definition by ISTQB

Black box testing: Testing, either functional or non-functional, without reference to the
internal structure of the component or system.

Black box test design technique: Procedure to derive and/or select test cases based on an
analysis of the specification, either functional or non-functional, of a component or system
without reference to its internal structure.

I used to do this for a living (test analyst). If you get stuck, drop me a line and I'll set up a conf call or something with you.

thank you both.

Willard - you have a gmail acc. in your profile so I'll share my document in there with what I have so far.

dooosuk - you don't have one. mine is makecoldplayhistory@gmail.com

Just let me finish a little more so I have one of each type of test (case, decision table etc).

Thanks for the offers.
