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.

Hi Sridevi,

Thanks for such a great explanation.

I would like to add something to this discussion.

Test cases are the actions to test the functionalities of the application.

However, test scenerios are based on the URS. Normally there are two types of flows in the URS- Basic and alternate.

In basic flows it explains how the application will work as per user's requirement and alternate flows describes the other possiblities.

So, we used to consider scenerios based on these two types of flows. One is normal flow which is positive and the second one is alternate which is negative.

For example , in the user name field, if URS specifies, it should accept alphbates in the range 8-10. then we will check the same in basic flow and other than this specifiec condition will be checked in the alternate flow.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

This is great web site to share and gain knowledge.

Thanks
