In Web application you should check additional cases that you don't use in windows application such:
1. Checking the application in all Internet Explorer version (or from version that your application should support until the last version)
2. Fire Fox browser (in case that your application should support)
3. Netsape browser (in case that your application should support)
4. All Windows platforms ( Win95 + Win98 +.... - or from version that your application should support until the last version + Service Pack versions)
5. Checking your application with Internet Options
6. Checking your application with different windows resolution and settings

Hi, In my words, There won't be any good test cases or bad test cases. Writing of testing cases should done by concentrating first in postive approach(all valid results) and then concentrate on Negative(trying to break operation). According to your experience on testing, a Tester can write more and more testcases by covering all the functional part of it with different approaches on that.

21. Explain the differences between White-box, Gray-box, and Black-box testing.

39. When is a good time for system testing?
40. Are regression tests required or do you feel there is a better use for resources?
41. Our software designers use UML for modeling applications. Based on their use cases, we would like to plan a test strategy. Do you agree with this approach or would this mean more effort for the testers.
42. Tell me about a difficult time you had at work and how you worked through it.
43. Give me an example of something you tried at work but did not work out so you had to go at things another way.
44. How can one file compare future dated output files from a program which has change, against the baseline run which used current date for input. The client does not want to mask dates on the output files to allow compares. - Answer-Rerun baseline and future date input files same # of days as future dated run of program with change. Now run a file compare against the baseline future dated output and the changed programs' future dated output.
