use case is pictorial representation of the requirement.

RE: what is use case?I was given only a date fie...

Usecase is nothing but Manual description about functionality in this one entire fuctionality is described.Based upon this Use case we can write test cases. Test cases for date field (If u follow DD-mm-YYYY) For date it should be > 1 and < 31 for month it should be > 1 and < 12 and year > 0001 and < 9999 like this u canwrite cases for different combinations (this is called boundary value analyis and after that one u can go for Equivalance partition) .one more is u can try this one for different combinations of characters and special keys if they are allowed and also you can try for leap year (In some year some month is having only 28 days but it is accepting >28 and < 31 then it is bug)

A use case is a kind of description for the requirements from the client .When a date field and submit button is alone given for testing check for the following aspects

1.date format

2.Is calendar been provided in order to choose date from it.

3. Check for postdated dates.

4. Check for pre dated dates.

when focussed in for submit button check for the

functionality of the submit button.

1. Check whether the submit button is enabled.

2. Check for enability if the date field is left blank.

3. check whether submit button function if an invalid data is fed for date field.

4.Check whether the system updates the date field data to the database.

USe Case defines about each functionality in detail.
Use case provides information about
1. Pre condition
2. Post Condistion
3. Actor
4. Description of the Feature in details.

Once the use case is sent by the project Manager to the Team lead use case is basically verified if all the information is fully given in the document. If any information is missing in the document it is called as ISSUES.

Once is the use case is baselined test cases are written based on it.

Use case is mainly the Pictorial design of the requirements. This is normally how you are going to code fo rthe requirement. What will be the input to what funtion and what could be the output to that.
as explained by many in this loop. it has specific pictorial symbols to present the out put and input and actions.

Actors process outpu are main symbols in this.

Use Case: It's a high level description of the system/application as it describes how the sytem will work in terms of users.

Test cases: If the date field had date picker:

-> Check for default date as date always checked with todays date
-> If the field is read only then it should restrict the manual entries
-> If the field is not read only then it should restrict invalid format of date and invalid
date like chars etc.
-> Need to verify the post date past date depends on conditions
-> Check if selectd the date from date picker then it should show in the field
-> Check for the validation for blank date
-> Check the date is updated with given date by clicking on submit
