• {{user-stories}}: The specific user stories to test (e.g., customer login and placing an order).
• {{user-roles}}: The different user roles involved (e.g., customer, admin, healthcare provider).
• {{acceptance-criteria}}: Any predefined criteria for success.

Instructions

2. For each user story, identify the main scenarios and edge cases.
3. Create test cases that cover:

• Alternative flows (e.g., incorrect login, out-of-stock items)
• Error handling and validation messages

1. Each test case should include:

• Test case ID
• Associated user story
• Preconditions
• Steps to execute
• Expected result

Output format Provide a structured list of test cases in a table format with columns: ID, User Story, Test Case, Preconditions, Steps, Expected Result. Use clear and concise language.
