Cómo usar: Use it to turn test cases into an ordered run another tester or a script can repeat. Write setup and data first, then the steps with an expected result each. The main pitfall is missing stop and teardown rules, which leaves corrupted data for the next run.

Test Procedure Specification: [Test set or scenario name]

Test procedure specification. The structure follows the test procedure concepts of ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-3: test sets, the ordered steps to run them, setup and teardown, dependencies, environment, data and stop or restart conditions. Replace every [bracketed] value and every row marked Example.

1. Purpose

This procedure executes the checkout regression test set for [product] against each release candidate. It confirms that quantity validation, discounts and order state changes still behave as specified after any change to the checkout or order services.

2. Test sets

Test set	Test cases (in order)	Shared preconditions	Priority
TS-A Cart validation	TC-ORD-005, TC-ORD-006, TC-ORD-007, TC-ORD-008	Standard customer logged in, empty cart	P1
TS-B Discounts	TC-ORD-010, TC-ORD-011, TC-ORD-012, TC-ORD-013	Gold and Standard customers available	P1
TS-C Order lifecycle	TC-ORD-020, TC-ORD-022, TC-ORD-026, TC-ORD-027	Warehouse role, seeded orders	P1
[TS-x]	[Cases]	[Preconditions]	[Priority]

3. Environment

Item	Value
Environment	[System test, `https://st.example.test`]
Browser / device	[Chrome stable on Windows 11; Safari on iOS 18 for TS-A only]
Services and versions	[Orders API 2.8.0, Pricing 1.14.2, payment sandbox]
Tools	[Test management tool], [REST client], [Playwright 1.x for automated steps]
Access	Accounts in section 4; warehouse console role `wh-tester`

4. Test data

Data	Used by	Creation	Reset
TD-01 Gold customer `[email protected]`	TS-B	`pnpm seed:customers`	Setup step S3
TD-02 Standard customer `[email protected]`	TS-A, TS-B	`pnpm seed:customers`	Setup step S3
TD-03 Product `MUG-RED-01`, stock 500	All	`pnpm seed:catalog`	Setup step S3
Orders `ORD-TEST-7001` to `ORD-TEST-7004`	TS-C	`pnpm seed:orders`	Teardown step D2

5. Dependencies

Smoke test procedure [TPR-SMOKE-001] has passed on the same build.
Pricing service has the current promotion configuration (promo-2026Q1).
No other tester is running TS-C in the same environment (orders are shared).

6. Setup

Step	Action	Expected result
S1	Confirm the deployed build in `/health`	`version` equals the build under test
S2	Clear browser storage and log out all sessions	Login page shown
S3	Run `pnpm seed:reset && pnpm seed:customers && pnpm seed:catalog`	Script exits with code 0; three records reported
S4	Run `pnpm seed:orders`	Four test orders listed in state Created or Paid
S5	Start screen recording and open the test run in [tool]	Run ID recorded in section 9

7. Procedure steps

Step	Test case	Action	Expected result	Outcome
1	TC-ORD-005	Log in as TD-02, open MUG-RED-01, enter quantity 0	Error "Enter a quantity from 1 to 99"; add button disabled	[Pass / Fail]
2	TC-ORD-006	Enter quantity 1, add to cart	Cart count 1	[Pass / Fail]
3	TC-ORD-007	Set quantity to 99 in the cart	Line total 2,475.00 EUR	[Pass / Fail]
4	TC-ORD-008	Set quantity to 100 in the cart	Error shown; quantity reverts to 99	[Pass / Fail]
5	(cleanup)	Empty the cart and log out	Cart count 0	[Pass / Fail]
6	TC-ORD-010	Log in as TD-01, add 4 x MUG-RED-01, open summary	Discount -15.00 EUR, shipping 0.00, total 85.00 EUR	[Pass / Fail]
7	TC-ORD-011	Change quantity to 3	Discount -7.50 EUR, shipping 0.00	[Pass / Fail]
8	TC-ORD-012	Log out, log in as TD-02, add 4 x MUG-RED-01	Discount -5.00 EUR, shipping 0.00	[Pass / Fail]

11	TC-ORD-022	Mark `ORD-TEST-7001` dispatched	State Shipped; tracking number field required	[Pass / Fail]

8. Stop, wrap-up and restart

8.1 Stop conditions

A P1 step fails with a severity-1 or severity-2 defect: finish the current test set, then stop.
The environment returns HTTP 5xx on three consecutive steps: stop immediately.
Seed data is found modified by another user: stop and notify the test lead.

8.2 Teardown

Step	Action	Expected result
D1	Log out all test accounts	Login page shown
D2	Run `pnpm seed:orders --purge`	Test orders removed
D3	Stop recording; attach logs and recording to the run	Attachments visible in [tool]

8.3 Restart

Restart from the first step of the interrupted test set after repeating setup steps S1 to S4. Completed sets do not need to be repeated unless the build changed.

9. Execution record

Run ID	Build	Executed by	Date	Duration	Passed	Failed	Blocked	Defects raised
Example: RUN-0412	5.1.0-rc2	[@name]	YYYY-MM-DD	52 min	12	1	0	BUG-3381
