is it wise to keep writing test cases this way? - soumya - 12-18-2011

I am currently working on a local host application.
here's the summary about the application, just to get you acquainted with it.
the application is about course management system.
there will be 3 users- Admin, guest and student. and obviously 3 seperate logins for the three users.
admin adds course contents and schedules.
student accesses these added schedules.
there are only few courses which a guest has access to. (admin has the power to choose which courses can be taken by the guest)
my problem is, there are a lot of hyperlinks. and i am writing test cases like this. please see the attached file
Please note:I HAVE ATTACHED TEST CASES ONLY FOR ONE OF THE MANY HYPERLINKS.
i am following the same test cases for all the hyperlinks, but some how i feel i am making a mistake. please correct me

Hi Soumya,
You are doing good, As you mentioned that many more hyperlinks there, So you need to cover those hyperlinks which comes under the scenario, scenario may functional.
You need to consider few points during the test case creation.
>>No Assumptions In Testing
>>Think Like An End User
>>basic test cases from the available specification and user documentation.
This is the practical stage in which writing test cases depend on actual functional and system flow of the application.
