Re: what is testcases

A test case is a set of logically related test steps (actions performed on the s/w) that are applied on the s/w in the required order for the purpose of validating and verifying its correctness according to the requirements of the end user.

Re: what is testcases

Test cases is nothing but a condition, this will be used for testing.It will be better if i explain it through an eg. If someone asks u to test an application , say some site and users below 18 years are not allowed.Then we an create test cases as follows:

age<18;
age=18 ;(boundary level test casesare important, since it may fail many times)

age>18;

All these are test cases to check whether our application is working according to need or not. Test cases are ground on which we perform testing.

Test Case is a document which describes the input, Action , expected Results to determine that software Application is working correctly. we can also define Test Case is a set of input parameters for which testing is to be carried out.

Test scenario is combination of test. In a scenario we execute different test.We see what a user can do for a particular action.

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

Test Suit is a Document which keeps the information of all Test Cases whcih have exceuted in the application. The information are as follows:

1. what are the Test Cases
2. In what order they have applied
3. How many test cases are failed and passed.

Re: Test Suit

A test suit is a set of logically related and closely similar test cases which can all be applied to the s/w without having to repeate some of the actions in it.

Re: difference between test cases,test scenario,and test suite?

Test Case
A test case is a software testing document,which consists of event, action, input, output, expected result, and actual result. Clinically defined (IEEE 829-1998) a test case is an input and an expected result. This can be as pragmatic as 'for condition x your derived result is y', whereas other test cases described in more detail the input scenario and what results might be expected. It can occasionally be a series of steps (but often steps are contained in a separate test procedure that can be exercised against multiple test cases, as a matter of economy) but with one expected result or expected outcome. The optional fields are a test case ID, test step or order of execution number, related requirement(s), depth, test category, author, and check boxes for whether the test is automatable and has been automated. Larger test cases may also contain prerequisite states or steps, and descriptions. A test case should also contain a place for the actual result. These steps can be stored in a word processor document, spreadsheet, database, or other common repository. In a database system, you may also be able to see past test results and who generated the results and the system configuration used to generate those results. These past results would usually be stored in a separate table.

Test scenario
Collections of test cases are sometimes incorrectly termed a test plan. They might correctly be called a test specification. If sequence is specified, it can be called a test script, scenario, or procedure.

Test suite
The most common term for a collection of test cases is a test suite. The test suite often also contains more detailed instructions or goals for each collection of test cases. It definitely contains a section where the tester identifies the system configuration used during testing. A group of test cases may also contain prerequisite states or steps, and descriptions of the following tests.

Correct me if i'm wrong

Test case is nothing but a test condition ,which is to be implemented on an application/module based on the requirement.

TestCase: It is unique test condition which validates a particular functionality of AUT.

TestScenario:
It is a document which helps in determining the logical flow of the test conditions
Two types-->
End to End Scenario
Function based

Re: difference between test cases,test scenario,and test suite?

Hi,

Good question, which is essential to know about. Let me tell my answer:

Test Scenario: Test scenario is the Sequence of user actions that the tester performs on a particular application (irrespective of app. type).
ex: Login-->View models of toys --> Select model --> pay by card --> exit

For testing this scenario in a particular application, the tester needs a test case, so a test case is:

Test case is the document which has the test case ID, Test data, expected result and P/F criteria in general for above mentioned scenario. A test usually contains no. of test cases in it representing various scenarios.

and finally the test suite:
It is the collection of no. of tests for a particular module of an application or say for the whole application. (depends on a project).

3. Winding machine ( for coffe maker)
4. weighing machine in shops

Each of the above tells scenario on testing certain parameters.For instance if you take ATM Scenario.You can perform various transactions such as

a) you can find Balance on your account
b) You can draw cash as you wish
c) you can apply for cheque books
d) You can generate Mini or Detailed Account statement etc

For each of this parameters you can write Test cases.Hope you got better idea between test cases and test Scenario.Please revert back if you need any informations.

Thanks,
Sridevi
