Can any one explain the difference between test scenario and test case...

Answer / abdul sameer

Test scenario just gives an outlook of particular action to be performed where as test cases described in details how that action need to be performed. For example

Test Scenario:-Bank account transaction
Test case name for above test scenario are
1. Transfer of account with minimum balance
2. Transfer of account with maximum balance
3. Transfer of account with any balance
4. Transfer of account with exceed limit transfer
5. Transfer of account in terms of decimals.
6. Transfer of account to invalid account number
7. Transfer of account to valid account number.


So for one scenario there can be n no. of test cases and each test cases will described how to perform such action like per supppose for 1. test case of transfer of account with minimum balance
step 1: Login to Bank url
step 2: Enter valid username
step 3: Enter valid password
step 4: Enter transfer screen
step 5. Enter valid account number to transfer
step 6. Enter the min amount to transfer in text field
step 7. Enter details of account number to whom we are transfering
step 8: click transfer
step 9 : confirm by clicking ok
Step 10: logout of the Bank url successfully

SO for each test cases there might be such small steps to be performed .
This is test cases and if we write all test cases in above steps for each and every test cases then we can say that we have done one scenario.

Obviously test scenario is like parent and test cases are like childrens of that parents.

Hope this will answer your question
