A test case is a set of conditions or variables used to determine whether a software application or system behaves as expected. It typically includes:
- Test Case ID: A unique identifier for the test case.
- Description: A brief explanation of what the test case is intended to verify.
- Preconditions: Any conditions that must be met before executing the test case.
- Test Steps: A sequence of actions to be performed to execute the test case.
- Expected Result: The anticipated outcome of the test case if the application behaves correctly.
- Actual Result: The actual outcome after executing the test case (used during testing).
- Status: Indicates whether the test case passed or failed.
Test cases are essential for validating the functionality, performance, and reliability of software applications. They help ensure that the software meets its requirements and works as intended.
