Use Case is a series of steps an actor performs on a system to achieve a goal.Test case describes action event input requirements actual result. Test case have test case name test case identifier Expected result.And a use case is a technique for capturing the potential requirements of a new system or software change.

Use case is nothing but the functional specification document in which all the customer requirements are documented.

Test case is a document which tells wat to test steps to test and expected and actual results.

Hi I will give good Ex:-

Use case:-

Use Case is written in Business Design Document(BDD)by the Business Analyst.It is for understanding the functionality for the person who is involved in writing the testcases

USE CASE EXAMPLE

Action

Response

when OK button is clicked

Screen 1 appears

Test case:- Test case is different perceptions for a functionality to be tested.Usually written by Test Enginneer.The same person who has written the test case may execute them or the other person.

Above Use case is converted into TestCase keeping in mind different perceptions(-ve and +ve)

Action

Expected Value

Actual Value

Result

click on Ok

screen 1 should appear(+ve perception)

screen1 appeared

pass

click on ok

screen 2 should appear(-ve perception)

screen 1 appeared

fail

click on ok

screen 2 should appear(-ve perception

screen 2 appeared

pass

usecase describes actors actions and corresponding response of the application

test cases is a step by step
process how to test the functionality of an application


usecase document is a parent document like BRD FRS SRS using which we can write test case

RE: what is use case? What is the diffrence between test cases and use cases?
Use cases describe the “process flows” through a system based on its actual likely use so the test cases derived from use cases are most useful in uncovering defects in the process flows during real-world use of the system.

Use cases often referred to as scenarios are very useful for designing acceptance tests with customer/user participation. They also help uncover integration defects caused by the interaction and interference of different components which individual component testing would not see.
