What is the difference between test case, test suite, test
script, test scenario & test plan?

Answer Posted / psrisusee

Test Case : A Set of input values, execution precondition,
expected result and execution post condition developed for a
particular object or test condition.

Test Suite : A Set of several test cases for a component or
a system under test. Where the postcondition of one test is
often used as the precondition for the next one.

Test Script : A document specifying a sequence of action for
the execution of test.
(Test Scripts are mostly used in Automation rather than
Manual, anyway the concept is same for both).

Test Scenario : Test Scenario is mostly likely a Test Script.

Test Plan : A document descibing the objective, scope and
approach, resourse and schedule of intended test activities.
Which includes
- Test Items
- Object to be tested and not to be tested.
- Risk analysis.
- Resource allocation
- Who will do each task.
- Entry and Exit criteria
