Answer / madhavi
High Level Test cases cover the whole application in a
broader way. They dont cover the functionalities in detail
but the overall application should work fine. whereas, Low
level test cases cover each andevery individualunits of
code and test cases are generated to test each and every
unit in depth. Low level testing is more detailed then High
level testing.

Answer / desampsos
First I want to take a look at the definitions given by ISTQB:
Low Level Test case
A Test Case with concrete (implementation level) values for
the input data and expected results. Logical Operators from
high level test cases are replaced by actual values that
correpsond the objectives of the logical operators.
High Level Test Case
A Test Case without concrete (implementation level) values
for the input data and expected results. Logical Operators
are used, instances of the actual values are not yet defined
and/ornot available.
This means that during the Test Anylsis you are creating
high level (logical) test cases as the steps and data are
often not known. Her you are mostly ceating tables and lists
of test cases documenting the result of such test methods as
Equivalence Class Analysis, Boundary Analysis, Decision
Table Analysis etc.
During the Test Realisation you begin refining the TestCase
into a low level test case by describing the pre-requisites,
the test steps, expected result, post requisites and
assigning concrete data values.

Answer / neeraj
High level test cases are those where we test the
individual functionality related test cases according to
the requirements but in low level testing we test the
granules(micro) level of the test case like what is
expected and is actual result.

Answer / vijaya
High level Test cases are those which covers major
functionality in the application (i.e retrive, update
display ,cancel (functionality related testcases) ,database
testcases ).
Low level test cases are those which are related to UI
related testcases.
