Test Scenario:
Test Scenario is hypothetical story to help a person think through a complex problem or system for a testing environment. The ideal scenario has five key characteristics: it is (a) a story that is (b) motivating (c) credible (d) complex and (e) easy to evaluate.
i.e) Flow of Data from one end to another end

Test Condtion:
Test Condition is nothing but which is mentioned in the Test Steps. which might be a Pre-Condition/Post-condtion.
for example: If a Search Field displayes the List of Search results
Pre-Condition: The Search should display Search results(Records displayed in tables)
Post-Condition: Records should display in next page if the searched results contains more than 10/20 records
