RE: What is diffrence b/w test cases and used cases
use case is a statement written to develop a functionality based on the requirements where as test case is the statement written to check weather the functionality is working correctly against the requirements.

RE: What is diffrence b/w test cases and used cases
test case is the document that has the steps to follow to use the application.

use case is the diagrametically representation of the application and the actiors and the exact flow of actions. i think u got the difference.

RE: What is diffrence b/w test cases and used cases
Test cases are documents which talk about the functionality of the application and consists of all kinds of actions and expected results from an application.

Use case explains the the navigation flow of the application.

RE: What is diffrence b/w test cases and used cases
test case is a document its a procedure to test the functionality of a feature it has several sections like input action expected result actual result and comments.

use case is pictorial representation of the requirements. it consists of pictures and meanings will be attached to it this is generally done by developers they use UML(unified modified lanuguage) to create these pictures

RE: What is diffrence b/w test cases and used cases
Hi ! Used cases are the complete description of a odule or the whole application.
What organisations normally do is that they divide the entire application in different modules...and a separate used case is prepared for every module...
If you take an example of say internet Explorer or MS word.... then there will be separate use cases for File Edit View tools etc...
Now testers reffer documents like (Use cases HLD LLD etc.) while preparing test cases because only with the help of these docs. they can identify test conditions...
and only after identifying the test conditions a series of steps called test cases are written to execute them........

We can easily identify preconditions for test cases by reffering Use case of that module...

Again a used case may /may not be documented.
But test cases are always documented.

RE: What is diffrence b/w test cases and used cases

A usecase provides a narrative that describes all of the actions a person needs to perform in order to complete a particular task within an application. This narrative describes workflow in terms of actions inputs and outputs. Business requirements are often presented in usecase format.

A test case provides all of the detail that is needed in order to test the functionality of an application. A test case typically includes prerequisites environment variables test steps and expected results. Test cases are typically created by reviewing business requirement usecases.
