Abstract	In software testing, the foundation of a strong testing strategy is effective test case design. Test cases determine whether the system is functioning according to requirements and user expectations, making their quality crucial to the success of software development. A well-crafted test case helps reduce the risk of defects, improves test coverage, and ensures that critical functionalities are rigorously verified. This article explores essential best practices in test case design, highlighting various techniques like boundary value analysis, equivalence partitioning, and exploratory testing. It discusses the importance of clear, concise language and links test cases to specific functional requirements, ensuring full traceability. Additionally, the article covers the benefits of prioritizing test cases based on risk, employing both positive and negative testing, and addressing edge cases for a comprehensive testing strategy. By implementing these best practices, quality assurance (QA) teams can ensure thorough testing and higher-quality software products.
