Appendix – Example Feature Specification

Using decision tables

To capture complex interactions between dependent variables and system behavior, it can be helpful to write out the possibilities in a table. This provides a basis for writing test cases and ensures that all conditions are covered. By expanding out the variables in a systematic way, you confirm you haven’t missed any combinations.

Consider a web application with basic or advanced support depending on the operating system and web browser it runs on. The advanced mode isn’t a replacement for the basic mode; some users may choose the basic mode even though the advanced mode is available.

The specification states the following:

Simon Amey

Simon has worked in the high-tech industry for over 20 years, in roles as diverse as software engineer, product manager, project manager, support engineer, and operations manager. However, most of his time has been spent breaking other people's code as a tester and test manager. He has worked in organizations as small as thirty people and as large as some of the biggest tech companies in the world; he has seen companies go out of business and worked in those acquired for their technology. All that experience has given him a deep insight into the development process. In particular, he knows the problems cause by inadequate testing, and how to solve them.
