1. Use case:
It will be developed by Business Analyst based on the requirement specification.
It is a detailed description of the Specification in a simplified version with realtime scenarios.

Re: What is exact difference between use case ,test scenario and test case?

Lets consider a library management system:

Usecase:
The functions performed by different entities(Customer, Staff, Manager) is mentioned in Usecase. a) Staff enters customer information.

Test Scenario:
Test cases are written based on scenario. Test scenarios are very brief.
a)Staff enters customer information
b)Customer returns a book

Test Cases:
Test cases are derived from scenarios. They are step by step instructions. They are very detailed and also contains actual results and expected results along with other fields
a. Enter customer information(Name, address, ph no)
b. Click on save.

Re: What is exact difference between use case ,test scenario and test case?

Suppose there is a product example: video conference unit, and one can use that for medical purpose or Educational training or personal or office etc.,so depending upon the use the use cases are prepared, it is nothing but depending upon the implement scensrio.So test cases related to this is nothing but usecases test scenario and it contains end to end flows of data.

Re: What is exact difference between use case ,test scenario and test case?

Use Case : The use case technique is used in software and systems engineering to capture the functional requirements of a system

Test scenario : Test scenarios are test cases or test scripts, and the sequence in which they are to be executed.

Test case: Test cases is a sequence of steps to test the correct behavior of a functionality/feature of an application
