what are test scenarios? with examples

Test scenario is a collection of logically related test cases.

Eg.

Imagine an application that doesn’t allow an administrator to login to 2 or more different systems at the same time.

So, to check if this security restriction of the application works fine, there may be test cases where the administrator is already logged in and also test cases where the administrator is not already logged in. These are 2 different scenarios and there will be a collection of test cases in each of these scenarios.

test scenarios examples:
scenario: you have login-inbox-logout

scenario1:login-check mail-logout
scenario2:login-compose mail,save draft,send mail, logout
scenario3:login-read mail,forward,delete mail, no logout

like this you can list different scenarios..
system testing uses all these scenarios.. its also known as end-to-end testing

most of the time, scenarios will have different set of screens involved execution flow..

Hi..can anyone tell me what is a testing scenario, what is a scenario based testing ...if possible please explain with a example

A scenario test is a test based on a hypothetical story used to help a person think through a complex problem or system. They can be as simple as a diagram for a testing environment or they could be a description written in prose. The ideal scenario test has five key characteristics. It is (a) a story that is (b) motivating, (c) credible, (d) complex, and (e) easy to evaluate. They are usually different from test cases in that test cases are single steps and scenarios cover a number of steps. Test suites and scenarios can be used in concert for complete system tests
