Test Case Execution

What is Test Case Execution?

Test case execution is the process of running the designed test cases against the application under test, comparing the actual results to the expected results.

Steps in Test Case Execution

• Set Up the Test Environment: Ensure the correct build, data, and configuration are in place.
• Execute Test Steps: Perform each step exactly as documented in the test case.
• Record Actual Results: Note what actually happened during execution.
• Compare with Expected Results: Mark the test case as Pass, Fail, or Blocked.
• Log Defects: Raise a defect report for any failed test case.
• Update Test Execution Reports: Track overall progress and coverage.

Why Careful Execution Matters

Consistent, disciplined execution ensures results are trustworthy and repeatable, and provides accurate data for tracking test progress and product quality.
