what is the purpose of writing testcases..

Answer / sireesha

Test Cases is nothing but an action performed on the
application with some input to test the functionality, its
usually a step by step procedure.
The main purpose of test case is not to miss
Testing of any functionality and Requirement.As it is
performed in a sequential way,one step by step the second
step would be relevant to the previous one so there wont be
any chace for the tester to miss any requiremnt or
functionality.
