Test statements have their own specific benefits:
- They promote broad and deep test coverage
- Provide support to help achieve test coverage in a rapid manner.
- It gives testers ownership of this part of the test cycle
- Use of this technique hence could be a motivational tool
- The Test Coverage reporting technique provides easy reportablility and audit-ability facility,
- It has a structure that can be summarized, and a detail that can be provided in the form of simple metrics.
- And above all, usage of test statements promotes creativity.
Test statements encourage an exploratory approach, whilst providing structure and general direction. It is worth noting that this is one of many techniques that can and should be used. Test statements have a specific role at a specific time. They are an extra weapon in the armory rather than a replacement for scripted functional tests and are an effective black-box technique to reduce project risk.
