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

Hi srkishoredrdo,


I have collected few information on your query,some of your queries are already discussed in geekinterview anyway have a glance.

1) Thread testing

this link directs you to geekinterview specific discussion about thread testing http://www.geekinterview.com/question_details/32901

2) bucket testing

similarly this topic is discussed already,below link will provide you inforamtion http://www.geekinterview.com/question_details/28841

3) implementation testing

Implementation testing or sometimes called installation testing is typically completed by the software testing engineer in conjunction with the configuration manager. Implementation testing is usually defined as testing which takes place using the compile version of code into the testing environment or pre-production environment which may or may not make it into production.

This generally takes place outside of the development environment to limit code corruption from other future releases which may reside on the development environment. While the ideal installation might simply appear to be to run an install program sometimes called package software. This package software typically uses a setup program which acts as a multi configuration wrapper, which may allow the software to be installed on a variety of machine and/or operating environments. Every possible configuration should require extensive testing before it can be used with confidence.

In distributed systems, particularly where software is to be released into an already live target environment (such as an operational web site) installation (or software deployment as it is sometimes called) can involve database schema changes as well as the installation of new software. Deployment plans in such circumstances may include back-out procedures whose use is intended to roll the target environment back in the event that the deployment is unsuccessful.

Ideally, the deployment plan itself should be tested in an environment that is a replica of the live environment. A factor that can increase the organizational requirements of such an exercise is the need to synchronize the data in the test deployment environment with that in the live environment with minimum disruption to live operation. This type of implementation may include testing of the processes which take place during the installation or upgrade of a multi tear application.

This type of testing is commonly compared to a dress rehearsal or may even be called a “dry run”. Implementation testing is testing of a full, partial or upgrades install/uninstall processes.

hope it helped you.

Test case is a condition which confirm that actual result is same as the expected result.

Test scenario is use case condition , how user can use the system.

hi
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.

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.

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.
