Test Case

What is TestCase?

  • A Test Case is a step-by-step guide used to check if a specific part of a software application works correctly as expected.

  • It defines the actions to be taken, the required data, and the expected result to validate that a feature functions as per the requirements.

Why TestCase is Important?
Test cases are crucial for ensuring software quality by defining specific steps, inputs, and expected outcomes to validate functionality, verify requirements, and catch bugs early.

Reason:

  • Validate Requirements and Functionality.
  • Early Defect Identification.
  • Consistency and Repeatability.
  • Regression Testing & Risk Management.
  • Documentation and Knowledge Transfer.
  • Foundation for Automation.
