RE: Testing Execution without Test Cases
 
Test Scenarios are at high level derived from use/cases and other functional points mentioned in the requirements specification. 

We can carry out execution with these but not to a detailed level. As a single scenario is normally broken down to multiple test cases.

Hence testing based on just a scenario will just check the basic functionality missing out on the details.

e.g of a scenario: 'Only valid user should be authorized to access application XYZ'

For the above scenario we will just test the login of application with valid user A and invalid user B without going into detailed testing of the logon screen unless and until we don't have all possible combinations of test cases for the scenario.
