Whether a developer, business analyst or tester you are no doubt an end-user, you constantly build mental models day-to-day as part of your work, rest and play. So, how many mental models did you already make this morning or even this week?
Stepping back, models have generally been the basis for software design since testing existed, and just as mental models adapt on-the-fly best-practice modelling blends individual thought into collaborative work. A deeper dive, then, into the baseline grammar for best practice modelling, we present a basic flow in the context of an ATM transaction.
From that, the best practice when modelling out a systems behaviours leads to teams being more tactical in approach. To reiterate: tactically creating models that use baseline grammar: nodes, task blocks, conditions, considering both an invalid plus valid end node, use best-practice modelling to sharpen & share diverse thinking with teams to model out and derive effective test cases.

About the series: art of modelling
The art of modelling series from Curiosity Software – boost foundation thinking around the art of modelling for test case creation as a starting point, told through a series of 90 sec–2min clips.
Why focus on the ‘art of modelling’ rather than just getting stuck in with the software? We listened to customers and evolved this feedback to take deeper dives but also stepping back to explore universal best practices.
The outcome is this series to focus on bringing a holistic alignment across projects for all stakeholders including testers, business users, SMEs, developers, SDETS, manual testers and end-users. Everyone across a team can model so positing a language of best practices, towards developing an art of modelling, this boosts collaborative effort.
