What’s a ‘test case’?
• A test case is a document that describes an input, action, or event and an expected response, to determine if a feature of an application is working correctly.
• A test case should contain particulars such as test case identifier, test case name, objective, test conditions/setup, input data requirements, steps, and expected results.
• Note that the process of developing test cases can help find problems in the requirements or design of an application, since it requires completely thinking through the operation of the application. For this reason, it’s useful to prepare test cases early in the development cycle if possible.
