Use Case (UC) is one form of requirement document that is used in web based projects. It gives you all the details about  ALT flow, Basic flow, Exception flow, Special requirement etc.

Based on the above information present in UC, taking the support from UC Test Cases are prepared.

Test Case:

  • Test Case is a commonly used term for a specific test. This is usually the smallest unit of testing. A Test Case will consist of information such as requirements testing, test steps, verification steps, prerequisites, outputs, test environment, etc.
  • A set of inputs, execution preconditions, and expected outcomes developed for a particular objective, such as to exercise a particular program path or to verify compliance with a specific requirement.

Use Case:

The specification of tests that are conducted from the end-user perspective. Use cases tend to focus on operating software as an end-user would conduct their day-to-day activities.

A use case is a method that is used to identify, clarify, and organize system requirements. A good use case describes a required function on a high level and from a user perspective and it involves interaction between system components and its user in a complex environment to achieve a particular goal.  Use cases should include all system activities that involve an application which have significance to users. A use case (or set of use cases) has these characteristics:

1) It is initiated by an actor
2) Provides visible value to an actor
3) Forms a complete conceptual function
4) Organizes functional requirements
5) Models the goals of system/user interactions
6) Records paths (called scenarios) from trigger events to goals
7) Describes a basic course of action (also called a main flow of events)
8) If warranted, describes alternative courses of action (also called exceptional flows of events)

A test case is a document that contains information required to execute a test. The information found in a test case is typically extracted from a use case.  A good test case should be written in a way that enables anyone to execute it without any knowledge of the application or its function.  A test case contains:
 
1) title
2) priority
3) preconditions
4) test steps
5) expected results
6) PASS/FAIL conditions
