Explanation

The level of detail and documentation required for test cases in the project depends on the type of application under test, the standards followed by the organization, and the maturity of the development process. For a medical domain application that is undergoing frequent changes, it is advisable to use low-level test cases that provide more details and specifications for each feature. Low-level test cases can support both the external audit and the new junior testers by ensuring traceability between the requirements and the test scenarios, as well as by facilitating future changes or enhancements. Low-level test cases can also be reviewed and updated by both experienced domain-based testers and junior testers who have extensive knowledge of the medical domain.
