A test case is redundant if it is used multiple times in the execution phase for no good reason. It is used in other part of the application for the purpose of navigation or to cover the complete flow.

Those test case whose coverage is less because of similare objectives with different wordings.

It is nothing surplus or unnecessary test cases return at many places of the application.

Test Cases is said to be Redundant, its covered and mapped lots in the Requirement Traceability. i.e) Same kind of Test cases is used for execution.

Redundant test cases are determined, if

(i) If similar test cases are present in test case pool or a requirement is having more than similar test cases then it is termed as redundant.

Another definition is,

If any test case is not finding any defect across builds (for long time) then we can eliminate that test case as redundant in order to save money.

Here are a couple suggestions:

1) Perform a reverse trace on the test cases and aggregate them into contiguous groupings associated each their requirements and compare the cases within these groupings to determine whether there are redundancies.

2) Use a buddy system to have peers execute one another's test cases.  Other testers will often an orginator's redundant test cases.
