Wikipedia

  1. Test case

    In software engineering, a test case is a specification of the inputs, execution conditions, testing procedure, and expected results that define a single test to be executed to achieve a particular software testing objective, such as to exercise a particular program path or to verify compliance with a specific requirement. Test cases underlie testing that is methodical rather than haphazard. A battery of test cases can be built to produce the desired coverage of the software being tested. Formally defined test cases allow the same tests to be run repeatedly against successive versions of the software, allowing for effective and consistent regression testing.

  1. test case

    A test case is a set of conditions or variables under which a tester will determine whether a system under test satisfies requirements or works correctly. It includes inputs, expected results, execution preconditions, and post-execution conditions. The process of developing test cases can also help find problems in the requirements or design of an application, which could be rectified in the early stages of development.

  1. Test case

    A test case in software engineering is a set of conditions or variables under which a tester will determine whether an application or software system is working correctly. The mechanism for determining whether a software program or system has passed or failed such a test is known as a test oracle. In some settings, an oracle could be a requirement or use case, while in others it could be a heuristic. It may take many test cases to determine that a software program or system is considered sufficiently scrutinized to be released. Test cases are often referred to as test scripts, particularly when written. Written test cases are usually collected into test suites.
