Structured specification of a sequence of checks with inputs, preconditions and expected results to verify system behavior.
A test case is a defined sequence of actions with inputs, execution conditions, and expected results used to verify system behavior. It enables reproducible defect detection, traceability and prioritization of testing work across development and QA. A test case specifies setup, preconditions and acceptance criteria for automation and manual testing.
Percentage of code or requirements covered by test cases.
Share of successfully passed test cases out of all executed cases.
Number of defects found per test cycle or per test hour.
Test cases validate payment processing, cart and order completion across different scenarios.
Specific test cases check input parameters, response codes and error handling of a REST API.
Test cases cover successful login, invalid inputs and session handling on mobile devices.
Identify test objects and prioritize by risk
Define acceptance criteria and expected results
Write test cases, implement automation and integrate into CI
