Goal of the lab:

Assess quality of real-world software application and produce a set of documents, including requirements, test-cases and bug reports.

Task description:

1. Download and install RSS Bandit application (see Input Materials section).

2. Choose one of three available parts of application as a target for your work: Navigation Pane, Menu and toolbars, or Tab View. (Please see screenshot for reference)

3. Test selected part of an application and specify few requirements for it. Consider following examples of requirements:

ID	Description	Area
R001	Shortcuts should be specified for each item in the main menu;	Main Menu
R002	When user presses “Search” button there might be two cases: 1) Application found RSS feeds which match search criteria. In this case results of search should be immediately shown in the separate Tab View. 2) No results found – the user should be notified with a message.	Navigation pane/Search panel

4. Based on your requirements produce one or two test-cases. Example of test case:

ID	Requirement ID	Steps	Status

5. Find any bug or usability issue in selected part of application.

6. Specify requirement and test case which will cover defect you found.
