What is Test Case


In software engineering Test Case is a set of conditions under which a tester will determine whether an application or software is working correctly or not. Test cases is a sequence of steps to test the correct behavior of a functionality/feature of an application.

A test case is a detailed procedure that fully tests a feature or an aspect of a feature.
A test case should have :

  • The purpose of the test.
  • Special hardware requirements.
  • Special software requirements.
  • Specific setup or configuration requirements.
  • A description of how to perform the test.
  • The expected results or success criteria for the test.

Test cases should be written by a team member who understands the function or technology being tested, and each test case should be submitted for peer review.
