Question

Accepted Answer

Test case is a detailed step-by-step procedure to test a specific functionality, while test plan is a high-level document outlining testing approach and resources.

Test case is specific to a particular functionality or feature, while test plan is an overall strategy for testing the entire system.
Test case includes detailed steps, expected results, and actual results, while test plan includes objectives, scope, schedule, and resources.
Test case is executed by testers to validate individual functionalities, while test plan guides the testing process and ensures all requirements are met.
Test case is more granular and focuses on specific scenarios, while test plan is more holistic and covers the entire testing process.
Example: Test case - Verify login functionality with valid credentials. Test plan - Outline testing approach for the entire system.
