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

TestCase: It is unique test condition which validates a particular functionality of AUT.

TestScenario:
It is a document which helps in determining the logical flow of the test conditions
Two types-->
End to End Scenario
Function based

Hi,

Good question, which is essential to know about. Let me tell my answer:

Test Scenario: Test scenario is the Sequence of user actions that the tester performs on a particular application (irrespective of app. type).
ex: Login-->View models of toys --> Select model --> pay by card --> exit

For testing this scenario in a particular application, the tester needs a test case, so a test case is:

Test case is the document which has the test case ID, Test data, expected result and P/F criteria in general for above mentioned scenario. A test usually contains no. of test cases in it representing various scenarios.

and finally the test suite:
It is the collection of no. of tests for a particular module of an application or say for the whole application. (depends on a project).

HI I'm radhika

Test case:Test case is nothing but what data you have given to the application, what action you have done on the application and it consists of input data and output data.

Test senerio: combinations of test cases or series of test cases

test case is a document which gives infomation abt input and expected result

test scenario is collection of testcase that ensure the business process flows are tested from end to end

test suite is collection of testcases to be used as input to a sotware programe to show it has some specified set of behaviour.

hello i m doing manual testing ,plz suggest me how i m prepare for an interview

test case is a document that contains input data and the expected values.
Test scenarios is a one single complete task like if you want to update your records in a database then it is acomplete task.
test suite is a set of test cases or we can say that it is a database of test cases.

hi kishoresqa
ur correct every body has their own definitions about test case and test scenario.....its up to their knowledge

Hi,

A test case is a statement with some defined input/ output values for the function under test.
A test scenario is a situation or a condition for which testing needs to be done.
A test suit is a collection of test cases comprising of specific or all the test conditions with respect to an application.

e.g. Loginn is a scenarion. To check with all valid and invalid inputs are the test cases. And coolection of these all is a Test suit.

hi, to all
what is the difference between invoice an billing in sap. please reply

Hi

Scenario : It comes before preparing the Test Cases(Eg :Scenario1 : Login into the application with valid data 2 : Login into the application with invalid data)

Test Case : To check the working of Certain functionality of an application(above scenorio 2) (Eg : 1.Verify login process with valid Username and Invalid password 2.Verify loging process with invalid username and valid password 3.Verify login process with both username and password invalid)


Test Suite : To maintain the group of test Cases (Related) with Unque Test suite Id. for Eg : if First Test Case failed in that group, No need to test the remaining Test Cases all Test cases will be failed or Blocked.

test cases on drop down list box, radio button, list box, scroll bar, check box with example

Simply you can make test plan .Test plan than test scenario.Test scenarios than test cases.
TEST CASES:A test case in software engineering is a set of conditions or variables under which a tester will determine if a requirement or use case upon an application is partially or fully satisfied. In order to fully test that all the requirements of an application are met, there must be at least one test case for each requirement unless a requirement has sub-requirements. In that situation, each sub-requirement must have at least one test case.
TEST SCENARIO:
Scenario testing is a software testing activity that uses scenario tests, or simply scenarios, which are based on a hypothetical story to help a person think through a complex problem or system. They can be as simple as a diagram for a testing environment or they could be a description written in prose. The ideal scenario has five key characteristics. It is (a) a story that is (b) motivating, (c) credible, (d) complex, and (e) easy to evaluate. These tests are usually different from test cases in that test cases are single steps and scenarios cover a number of steps. Test suites and scenarios can be used in concert for complete system testing.
TEST SUIT:In software engineering, a test suite, also known as a validation suite, is a collection of test cases that are intended to be used as input to a software program to show that it has some specified set of behaviors. Test suites are used to group similar test cases together. A system might e.g. have a smoke test suite that consists only of smoke tests or a test suite for some specific functionality in the system.

A test suite often contains detailed instructions or goals for each collection of test cases and information on the system configuration to be used during testing. A group of test cases may also contain prerequisite states or steps, and descriptions of the following tests.

Collections of test cases are sometimes incorrectly termed a test plan. They may also be called a test script, or even a test scenario
I hope helps you

hi all,,,
every one explaind what test case and test scenario,,,
i hav an qn,,
Test case is a bundle of inputs,expected result and actual result,,then
What is the use of test scenario???

hi friend..

As per my view based on test scenario test cases will be framed

Thanks

hi,

Test Case:A test case in software engineering is a set of conditions or variables under which a tester will determine if a requirement or use case upon an application is partially or fully satisfied. It may take many test cases to determine that a requirement is fully satisfied.

Test Scenario:Scenario testing is a software testing activity that uses scenario tests, or simply scenarios, which are based on a hypothetical story to help a person think through a complex problem or system. They can be as simple as a diagram for a testing environment or they could be a description written in prose

A test case is a smaller or very lower level unit in testing activity , which describes how to perform a single step or activity in order to get the expected result.
Where as Test Scenario is a little bigger activity comparitively with test case , which comprises of many test cases, which explains abt carrying out a certain action.
Say for Eg , a login screen contains many actions to be carried out where we can write for positive as well for negative scenarios.
