Use Case Testing

What is Use Case Testing?

Use Case Testing is a functional black box testing technique that helps testers to identify test scenarios that exercise the whole system on each transaction basis from start to finish.

Characteristics of Use Case Testing:

• Use Cases capture the interactions between 'actors' and the 'system'.

• 'Actors' represents user and their interactions that each user takes part into.

• Test cases based on use cases and are referred as scenarios.

• Capability to identify gaps in the system which would not be found by testing individual components in isolation.

• Very effective in defining the scope of acceptance tests.

Example:

The Below example clearly shows the interaction between users and possible actions.
