Test Case

A test case is a set of activities that are carried out to verify the functionality of a certain component or feature of your product application. A test case is a set of test steps, test information, preconditions, and postconditions built for specific test cases to ensure that all prerequisites are met.

It's a collection of circumstances or elements. When a tester determines whether an application, programming framework, or one of its features is performing as expected.

Test Scenario

Any usefulness that can be tested is defined as a test scenario. It is a collection of tests that allows the testing group to determine the task's positive and negative characteristics. The Test Scenario gives us a good idea of what we need to test.

It also examines if the business streams are operating as intended. The setup of circumstances is the most important component of scenario testing; to do so, the situation tester must communicate with or seek assistance from the customer, partner, or designers.

Example of Test Scenarios

The following are the test scenario for e-commerce applications:

  • Test Scenario 1: Verify the search functionality
  • Test Scenario 2: Verify the payments functionality
  • Test Scenario 3: Verify the login functionality

Example of Test Cases

The following are some test cases to verify the Login Functionality:

  • When a valid email address and password are entered, check the system's behavior.
  • When an invalid email address and a valid password are entered, confirm the system's behavior.
  • When a valid email address and an invalid password are submitted, check the system's behavior.
  • When an invalid email address and password are entered, check the system's behavior.
  • Check the system's behavior when the email address and password are left blank and the Sign-in button is pressed.
  • Check the functionality for passwords that have been forgotten.
  • When "Keep me signed" is selected, check the system behavior.
  • Test case vs. test scenario

Test Scenario Best Practices

  • Test scenarios are usually one-line statements that specify what should be tested.
  • The description of the scenario should be simple and concise.
  • A thorough examination of the stated requirements should be completed.
  • Before beginning the testing encounter, make sure you have all of the essential devices and materials.

Test Case Best Practices

  • Create a test case by thinking about the end-user.
  • Recursion in test cases is not taken into account.
  • You must guarantee that test cases are written to verify all of the product requirements listed in the detailed archive.
  • A test case must be immediately identifiable.
