Hi all,

I feel that all the terms are briefly and accurately have been discussed by Gurjala Suresh except 'Test Scenario'.



Lets take an example: In an application, user has to login then edit the content of any page.

Lets suppose this updation should be notified by system to the administrator through mail in a perticular format.

To verify the things tester'll create the test scenarios to include all the functionalities.

i.e. He/She'll test the:

1). login process first (He/She'll write test steps to test login process)

2). Whether edition is possible on the page.

3). Whether automatically repot is generated.

4). format of the report etc...



These all the specified scenarios are 'Test Scenarios'.
