Test case:- what exactly we are going test that is written in a file.

test script:- after writing the test case we will write the test script.based on the test case.

Test Case:

  • Test Case is a commonly used term for a specific test. This is usually the smallest unit of testing. A Test Case will consist of information such as requirements testing test steps verification steps prerequisites outputs test environment etc.
  • A set of inputs execution preconditions and expected outcomes developed for a particular objective such as to exercise a particular program path or to verify compliance with a specific requirement.

Test Script: Commonly used to refer to the instructions for a particular test that will be carried out by an automated test tool

RE: what is the difference between the test case and a test script

Test cases:


1- defines test area.

2- Writing the expected users scenarios (which are valid or invalid).

3- Show the accepted result for each scenario (User requirements).


using test cases: -*- access test area then applied scenarios to show system response for correct/ incorrect users scenarios if the response meet the user specification there's no bug else the system have a bug in this case.


Test script:


*-* Scenario which can we take it from complete happy scenario (scenario that applied on the system and refers no bugs). Scenario which confirm the valid scenario that written in the test case where that applied by using proper automation tool that generate a scrip file which we can apply this script to confirm the happy scenario.


Using test scripts: -*- it's using to make an automation testing.


best regards

RE: what is the difference between the test case and a test script
Test Case:

A description purpose and set of steps including pass/fail criteria to test a function as specified in a Functional Design Specification document. The test case reflects the behavior of the functions as written in the design doc so there is traceability from the design doc to the test case 1:1 one-for-one so a good thorough testing of the function can occur.

Test Script:

Implementation of the exact test case described above in a scripting language (code) like Perl Tcl or Unix shell.
