Test Scenario Vs Test Case

Test Scenario Vs Test Case.

Test Scenario

  • Definition: A high-level description or outline of what needs to be tested. It focuses on the functionality or workflow to be validated, not the specific steps.
  • Detail Level: Less detailed and broader in scope. It represents a concept or a situation that needs testing, typically at a more abstract level.
  • Purpose: Used to ensure comprehensive coverage of the application and to identify all the possible areas that need testing.

Focus

Focuses on what to test (e.g., user login process, fund transfer workflow).

Example:

  • "Test the login functionality."
  • "Test fund transfer between accounts."

When Used

Primarily used during the initial stages of testing to outline the general areas to be covered.

Test Case

  • Definition: A detailed set of specific instructions or steps to execute a test, which includes inputs, actions, expected outcomes, and actual results.
  • Detail Level: Highly detailed and specific. Each test case outlines how the test should be performed and provides step-by-step guidance.
  • Purpose: Used to ensure specific aspects of the application behave as expected under certain conditions.

Focus

Focuses on how to test the scenario, including precise steps, expected results, and test data.

Example:

Test Case for Login:
  1. Step 1: Open the login page.
  2. Step 2: Enter a valid username and password.
  3. Step 3: Click the login button.

Expected Result: The user is redirected to the dashboard.

When Used

Used during the execution phase to ensure specific functionality is working as intended, step by step.
