## Artifact Description

A **test case** is a set of preconditions, inputs, actions, expected results, and postconditions, developed to cover a specific test objective. According to ISTQB CTFL v4.0, it is a *test design work product* that answers "how to test?" a test condition.

**Function in the STLC:** Converts each **`TCND`** into executable steps with a binary expected result.

**Input sources:** Approved `test-conditions.md`, design techniques from the Test Plan (**`EP`**, **`BVA`**, **`State Transition`**, **`Error Guessing`**), preliminary test data.

## Prompt

> [!TIP]
> 🔗 **Requires:** `system-prompt.md` + active `context-rules.md`. Input: completed `prompt-04-test-conditions.md`.

### Instruction

Generate test cases in collaboration with the tester:

1. For each **`TCND`**, propose the respective **`TC`** including precondition, steps, and expected result.
2. Identify the applied test design technique (**`EP`** / **`BVA`** / **`State Transition`** / **`Error Guessing`**).
3. Present each proposal to the tester for validation of steps and expected result before continuing.
4. Maximum of 3 test cases per exchange.

One step = one action. Expected result = verifiable in a binary manner. No subjective terms.
