Usecase: This is prepared by the Business Analyst from the requirements collected from the Client. This needs the consent and Signoff from the client to proceed further preparing the Design Document Test Plan and the Test Cases.

Test Plan: This is prepared by the Test Team lead using Usecase document as input. This should undergo a review process by the Development Lead before sending it to the client for approval.

Test Case: This is a flow or steps for testing a particular application so as to find defects. There are different types of testing that should be in place for different phases of SDLC.

RE: whats the difference between usecase,testcase,test...

We have a series of posts defining use cases. There are also links to use case templates for formal use cases. There are also other examples of use cases on the site in the context of developing software and managing functional requirements. The other responses are correct - check out these posts for more details (which can help in followup interview questions).We also have a series on test cases. One of the posts in particular provides a detailed analysis of greybox testing whitebox testing and blackbox testing. Again - these posts (and others they link to) will provide that next level of detail in understanding.Scott Sehlhorst Tyner Blain
