Allow the computer to do the math for you
Create a sanity test caseCreate all positive requests with
required fields
Create all negative requests without required fields
Create all positive requests within boundary conditions
Create all negative requests outside boundary conditions
Create all positive requests with correct type of arguments

Use TAF to generate all available permutations of test cases.People don’t need to think about each available combination it should be done automatically once the requirements are specified.

Make it easy for other people to use
Once the framework is created anyone without automation knowledge should be able to add test cases to it!
57CONFIDENTIAL
Create TAF to allow adding cases even to business people if they want it.Adding test cases should not require knowledge beyond the average computer user.
