What is a Test Case?
|
A Test Case is particular set of steps and data along with anticipated results for a specific test objective. Ideally test case should only check one limited subset of a feature or functionality. A Test Case template generally consists of Test Case ID, Prerequisites, Procedures (Description of Steps), Expected Result, Actual Result (Passed/ Failed/ Blocked) and Comments. |
