Use case vs Test Case

Difference between Use Case and Test Case



So what is a Use case and a Test Case. These terms frequently used in the software testing field, which are also closely related. A use case is used to specify how to use the system designed for performing a specific task. As against, a test case is a group of test inputs, execution conditions, and expected results developed for a particular test objective.

Furthermore, the use case does not run or execute as it is a textual or diagrammatic presentation of a document which specifies how to accomplish a certain task. Whereas, test cases are prepared by the software testers to validate the software and check whether it is working as per requirements or not.

What is a Use Case?
use case is a description of how a person who actually uses that process or system will accomplish a goal It outlines, from a user’s point of view, a system’s behaviour as it responds to a request. Each use case is represented as a sequence of simple steps, beginning with a user's goal and ending when that goal is fulfilled.

What is a Test Case?
The test case is a set of inputs and expected output which is used for analysing the program behaviour. Use case description is fed as the input to the test case worksheet. A Test Case contains test steps, test data, precondition, postcondition developed for specific test scenario to verify any requirement.
