A test case is redundant if it is used multiple times in the execution phase for no good reason. It is used in other part of the application for the purpose of navigation or to cover the complete flow. Those test case whose coverage is less because of similare objectives with different wordings.

RE: Redundant Testcases

Redundant test cases are determined if

(i) If similar test cases are present in test case pool or a requirement is having more than similar test cases then it is termed as redundant.

Another definition is

If any test case is not finding any defect across builds (for long time) then we can eliminate that test case as redundant in order to save money.
