Test Case vs Test Scenario

[Ehsanuls55]

A test case is a complete record of how your new feature should behave [and how to test it]. A test scenario is a high-level description of the actions that can happen [and therefore be tested].

Expanding on the above example, the test scenario would be "test newsletter subscription" However, the test cases would be:

Test the name field with an acceptable name
Testing the name field with special characters
Test name field for celebrity names
Test name field with numbers
Test name field for placeholders or fictitious names like John Doe
