    Re: Test cases

    Here is a link from our very own- GeekInterview

    In simplest terms, a test case is just a scenarion in paper. It just tells us what needs to be done. Test script is often a piece of code written by the test engineer to execute the test case. Test script is "the how" part of testing and test script is "the what" part. That means, test case tells us what needs to be tested and we describe how to test it though test scripts.

    Re: What is the difference between test cases and test scripts?

    Test case is a set of conditions under which a tester will determine if a requirement of an application is satisfied or not.

    Test script is the code generated by testing tools( which can be edit manually). It defines the actions and pass/fail criteria (Check Points).

    A repeated question again.

    A test script is an automated version of a test case.

    Lack of WILL POWER has caused more failure than
    lack of INTELLIGENCE or ABILITY.

    Re: What is the difference between test cases and test scripts?

    Test Scripts are a set of instructions written to test the functionality of the system under test (SUT), is as expected or not.

    These can be categorized under two types :
    1. Manual, are better referred to as test cases.
    2. Automated

    Automated:
    A test script written in the form of a short program in either automated testing tools like QTP, SilkRunner, or in programming languages like C, C++, Java, etc.
