As you can see, the table includes columns for the Test Case ID, Test Case Description, Test Steps, Expected Result, Actual Result, and Status. You can use this template to document all of your test cases, including those I provided earlier.
Make sure to fill out the Actual Result and Status columns after you’ve run each test case, and if there are any issues, make sure to document them in the Issues column and also update the Status to failed.
You can also add additional columns as needed for example Date, Time, Person, Checked, these will help you to have a clear picture of the testing progress, who is running the test and when, and also to keep track of any issues that have been found
