What is Test Case?

Def#1:
IEEE Standard 610 (1990) defines test case as follows:
“(1) A set of test inputs, execution conditions, and expected results developed for a particular objective, such as to exercise a particular program path or to verify compliance
with a specific requirement.
“(2) (IEEE Std 829-1983) Documentation specifying inputs, predicted results, and a set of execution conditions for a test item.”

Def#2:
In software engineering, a test case is a set of conditions or variables under which a tester will determine if a requirement upon an application is partially or fully satisfied. It may take many test cases to determine that a requirement is fully satisfied. In order to fully test that all the requirements of an application are met, there must be at least one test case for each requirement unless a requirement has sub requirements.

Def#3:
Microsoft defines a test case as - A test case is a detailed procedure that fully tests a feature or an aspect of a feature.

A test case includes:

• The purpose of the test.
• Special hardware requirements, such as a modem.
• Special software requirements, such as a tool.
• Specific setup or configuration requirements.
• A description of how to perform the test.
• The expected results or success criteria for the test.
