Re: test case and test senerio

A test case is the procedure followed to execute a test, it consists of the details about the input and expected result.
Test scenarios are based on a hypothetical story to help a person to think through a complex program or a system.

Re: test case and test senerio

Hi Bharathy,

As for us Test Scenario is concerned ,we can discuss many scenarios in day today life like

1. Automated teller machine (ATM- Cash machine) ,
2. Swipping machine for Credit or Debit cards on purchase made.
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

Re: test case and test senerio

Hi,

Testcase = A testcase is a one which checks a functionality of one particular object at a time..A scenario can check functionality of multiple objects..and we can tell this as one business process..we can define a series of test-case executed as one scenario

Test Scenario = Think of a scenario as a workflow. It tests a series of test cases .

Re: test case and test senerio

hi all

In simpler way

Test case is an executable condition on a build(application).

Test Scenario is a workflow with no of test cases.

Re: test case and test senerio

hi Nikhil

i agree with u.but every body has it's own definition,some people may say like this some in another way.

Test scenario describs a specfic workflow about functionality of an application with some no of test cases from starting to ending.
eg: withdraw in bank ATM.

Re: test case and test senerio

Hi friends
i want to take the example of the bus riding for expalining tht
test scenario:
some real time situations or work flow or real existence of work tht how we going to do tht thing. e.g:- we decided to go some whr by bus.so as we planed tht we wil take the bus from tht stop & reach tht palace.

test case:
" documented steps written 2 execute particular functionality of the component of software tht might contail expected results, inputs to ensure tht the desired functionality works fine."

e.g:-
1. First we take the riksaw from home.
2.reach bus station by riksaw.
3.take seat in bus.
4.reach there by bus.
5.left the bus after reaching to that place. & like that "these might b the some test cases tht u can think based on the above scenario"
hope tht u got the concept

Re: test case and test senerio

well test senario is the situation or a special case senario based testing in which a tester tries to create that situation and depening upon the need of testing that situation /senario various differnt kind of test cases are required.

A test case is always a subset of a test senario ..

I hope it helps ..

Test Scenario is a big picture. There can be several test cases that can be written to test one test scenario.
e.g. Test Scenario - Test the checking account functionality for a bank application
Test cases for the same could be - Test checking form, test for required fields on the form, test for accuracy of the deposit/withdraw function, test for error conditions such as trying to withdraw more than available balance etc.,

Hope this helps

Re: test case and test senerio

A test case is a document that describes an input, action, or event
and an expected response, to determine if a feature of an application
is working correctly.
• A test case should contain particulars such as test case identifier,
test case name, objective, test conditions/setup, input data
requirements, steps, and expected results.
