In order that the onlineeducation is at least equally effective (if not better) than face-to-face education in traditionalclassroom in all aspects such as academic quality, rigor and outcomes, appropriate teaching toolsmust be developed to suit the online teaching / learning media. In this regard, we believe the casestudy based education is one of the superior tools to deliver an equivalent laboratory experiencefor the online students!The process for developing case studies in described in section 2, a fully developed case study inthe domain of software testing is presented in Section 3, the instructions and teaching notes aregiven in Section 4, pedagogy and educational outcomes are discussed
