Creation Of Test Scenarios, Test Cases

Test Scenarios

A test scenario is a high-level description of what needs to be tested, often expressed as a single line capturing an end-to-end functionality (e.g., "Verify user can successfully log in with valid credentials").

Test Cases

A test case is a detailed, step-by-step specification derived from a test scenario, describing exact preconditions, inputs, steps, and expected results.

• Test Case ID: A unique reference.
• Title/Summary: A short description of what is being tested.
• Preconditions: The required state before execution.
• Test Steps: The precise actions to perform, in order.
• Test Data: The specific input values used.
• Expected Result: What should happen if the software works correctly.
• Actual Result & Status: Filled in during execution (Pass/Fail).

From Scenario to Case

A single test scenario often expands into multiple detailed test cases to cover positive flows, negative flows, and edge cases.
