Test cases
It is the step by step description of the
action that we do during the testing.
Test script
Type of test file. It is a set of instructions run
automatically by a software or hardware test tool.
Test suite or secnario
Is the collection of test cases.
Test plan
Is a document that describes the objective, scope and
the approch of the testing. This document has time
scheduling the teesting activities, and what is assigned to
whom.
Hi Purni,
Test Script is not a type of file. If a Test case is
automated , then its a test script. A test script contains
code.
In winrunner - its similar to C
In QTP - VB Script
In Silk - 4T
in Rational - VB
Test Suite - Collection of test cases
Test Scenario - End to end flow of a product.
Test Case : A Set of input values, execution precondition,
expected result and execution post condition developed for a
particular object or test condition.
Test Suite : A Set of several test cases for a component or
a system under test. Where the postcondition of one test is
often used as the precondition for the next one.
Test Script : A document specifying a sequence of action for
the execution of test.
(Test Scripts are mostly used in Automation rather than
Manual, anyway the concept is same for both).
Test Scenario : Test Scenario is mostly likely a Test Script.
Test Plan : A document descibing the objective, scope and
approach, resourse and schedule of intended test activities.
Which includes
- Test Items
- Object to be tested and not to be tested.
- Risk analysis.
- Resource allocation
- Who will do each task.
- Entry and Exit criteria
2)The prototype model is chosen on what grounds?
A)During information engineering phase when all the
requirements are clear and there is no space for any confusion.
B)When the requirements are well understood and there is a
need for developers to create a fully functional system
within a very short time period.
C)During information engineering phase when only generalized
objectives of the software are defined and it is not
possible to define detailed inputs, business rules and
output requirements.
D)when the focus should be given on the delivery of an
operational product with each increment, where each
increment is a spiral model.
