as set of inputs, execution preconditions, and expected outcomes developed for a particular objective, such as to exercise a particular program path or to verify compliance with a specific requirement
A test case documents an individual test It should include the preconditions (what relevant data exists at the start of the test case execution) and inputs The actual results of test case execution must be recorded in a form that can be validated after the test case is executed
A method of exercising a product, feature, or process flow to confirm a single predefined result Failed test cases reveal product defects or defects in the test case
(1) A set of test inputs, execution conditions, and expected results developed for a particular objective, such as to exercise a particular program path or to verify compliance with a specific requirement [do178b?] (2) Documentation specifying inputs, predicted results, and a set of execution conditions for a test item [24] See also: test case generator; test case specification [6]
Validates one or more criteria to certify that an application is structurally and functionally ready to be implemented into the business production environment A test case is usually associated with at least one business function/requirement that is being validated and requires that specific test data be developed for input and reference during the test execution The test case execution may be governed by one or more capture/playback scripts, test schedules, checklists or data comparison scripts against an established baseline
A test case is a legal case which becomes an example for deciding other similar cases. A legal action whose outcome is likely to set a precedent or test the constitutionality of a statute. a legal case that establishes a particular principle, that is then used as a standard which other similar cases can be judged against
