Test Case

Definitions

1. A single, self-contained specification of inputs, execution steps, and expected outcomes designed to verify one specific behavior or requirement of the system under test — typically implemented as a function in a test framework.

   In plain English: One specific scenario you test to make sure the software does what it is supposed to do.

   Example: "Write a test case for the edge case where the cart is empty and the user clicks checkout — it should show an error, not a blank page."
