Test Case
PronunciationTEST KAYSS
Definition
A test case is a set of conditions, inputs, and expected outcomes used to verify that a specific feature or requirement of a system works correctly. It serves as a blueprint for testers to validate software behavior.
Where you hear it
In QA planning meetings, bug reports, and test documentation.
Examples
We need to write a new test case for the password reset functionality.
This test case failed because the system returned an error instead of the expected success message.
Common mistake
Confusing a test case with a test plan; a test case is a single, granular verification step, while a test plan is a high-level document covering the entire testing strategy.
