Test Scenarios vs. Test Cases: Know The Difference
Blog post from testRigor
Test cases and test scenarios are essential components of software testing, with test cases providing detailed step-by-step instructions to verify specific functionality and expected outcomes, while test scenarios offer a high-level overview of the testing situation based on requirements. Traditionally, manual and automation testing teams worked separately, often leading to communication gaps and inconsistencies in testing results, especially when updates or hotfixes were introduced. However, modern approaches, such as using no-code automation tools like testRigor, aim to bridge these gaps by allowing the entire QA team to create and maintain automated tests using plain English, eliminating the need for separate teams and complex programming knowledge. This approach facilitates faster and more efficient test creation and maintenance, enabling QA personnel to collaboratively own and manage automation processes, ultimately improving test coverage and feedback loops.
