Test Case Baseline Introduction

A test case baseline is like the "blueprint" for construction projects - it defines the standard reference point for software functionality, ensuring the team always has clear quality benchmarks during development, testing, and change processes. AngusTester's test case baseline helps teams:
✅ Lock requirement standards - Avoid requirement misinterpretation
✅ Control change risks - Reduce chaos caused by disorderly changes
✅ Improve delivery quality - Ensure each release meets quality benchmarks
✅ Meet compliance requirements - Provide complete quality traceability

What is a Test Case Baseline? The Team's Quality Anchor

A test case baseline is the quality benchmark in software projects, recording consensus reached at specific points in time regarding:

Plain Understanding:

• Like mobile OS version numbers (e.g., iOS 16.4)
• Like architectural blueprints
• Like standardized recipes

Core Values:

• Stable Development: Provides clear development targets
• Precision Testing: Offers acceptance criteria for testing
• Change Control: Provides reference for changes
• Quality Traceability: Offers complete records for audits

Three Core Values: The Foundation of Quality Management

1. Version Control: The Project's Time Machine

Practical Applications:

• Roll back to historical versions anytime
• Precisely compare version differences
• Avoid "this feature used to work" disputes

2. Change Management: The Quality Gatekeeper

Change Control Process:

Key Advantages:

• Visualized change impact
• Prevent unauthorized modifications
• Keep the team synchronized

3. Audit Compliance: The Project's Black Box

Audit Support Elements:

Application Scenarios:

• ISO certification
• Financial industry compliance checks
• Medical device safety audits
