[Hack]

We have to develop test case documents on all of our software as well as on all enhancements and bug fixes.

The test cases revolve around two very simple questions:

What is the application supposed to do?
How is it supposed to do it?

The answers to those questions will give you your test cases.

ok..then what test cases can test on network testing?

[Hack]

Again, the answer to your question can be found in what the application is supposed to do in a network setting. I don't know what the answer to your question is because I don't know what your application is or how it is supposed to function in a networked envirnoment.

You do know the application and you do know what it is supposed to do.

Your test cases are:

Does it do it?
Does it do it in accordance with the program specifications?
Does it do it in accordance with the end user requirements?

These are general categories for which there can be many, many individual test cases.
