A Test Case consists of steps and may contain single or multiple tasks. Each step contains an action along with its associated objects and parameters. Define the sequence of the steps in a test case that resemble the flow of a test scenario. You can add test data as per the requirements.

A test case determines whether the application under test meets the defined specifications under the given set of conditions or variables. Test cases are also created to validate if an application meets the business and functional requirements.

Before you create a test case, create a test scenario or select from available test scenarios.

A Test Case Editor screen contains buttons that you can use to add steps or execute a test case.

The following table shows the description of each button.
