Test Case

What is a Test Case?

A test case is a set of conditions, inputs, and actions used to validate whether a specific feature of an application works correctly.

• It defines what to test, how to test, and expected results
• It acts as a blueprint for testing
• It helps ensure the system works in normal, error, and edge conditions

Components of a Test Case

A standard test case includes:

• Test Case ID
• Test Scenario / Name
• Preconditions
• Test Steps
• Test Data
• Expected Result
• Actual Result
• Status (Pass/Fail)

What is a Test Scenario?
A test scenario is a high-level idea of what you want to test in a product or application.

Test Case vs Test Scenario

Test Scenario → What to test (high-level)
Test Case → How to test (detailed steps)
