What is the difference between a Use Case and a Test Case?

 

  • Use Case: Describes how a user interacts with a system to achieve a goal. It focuses on user workflows and system behavior but does not have pass/fail conditions.
  • Test Case: A set of conditions and inputs executed to verify software functionality. It has expected outcomes and results in either pass or fail based on compliance with requirements.

Example: A use case describes the login process, while test cases validate valid and invalid login attempts.
