1. Test Plan - A Test plan contains or defines, in precise, the Test Strategy, Testing Methods, Resources, Schedule, Test Entry/Exit Criteria, Scope of testing, Functionalities to be Tested etc... That is, all these are defined in terms of the the application to be tested. 2. A Test Scenario is a way to ensure that every user flows will be properly tested. A Test Scenario may contain one or more Test Cases. Ex: Successfully performing a function C, after doing functions 'A' and 'B'. Here, let's assume that performing A, B and C are given in each Test Cases. So, the Test Scenario is the successful execution of the Test Case C after executing the Test Cases containing the functions A, B, in a successive manner. Email: sajinkokkad@gmail.com

A test case is a document that describes an input, action, or event and an expected response, to determine if a feature of an application is working correctly. On the other hand, a software project test plan is a document that describes the objectives, scope, approach, and focus of a software testing effort.

test plan is a document that describes the ojectives, scope,approach,and focus of a software testing effort. test senario is nothing but a gropu of test cases we can call scenario. test case is a document that describes input action and expected response to determine if a feature of an application is working correctly. a test case should contain particulars such as test case identifier, test case name,objective,test conditions,setup,input data,steps and expected results
