Test Case
=========

Test cases should be designed and developed based on the User requirements and System architecture and Functionality.

Also this varies based on what testing and at what stage the testing is carried out.

If it is Unit Testing then the Test Cases will be developed to test the smallest part of the overall user's requirements or the small component of the overall system architecture.

If it is an Integration testing then the Test case will be developed to verify a function of the User requirements or an interface between two modules of the System.

If it is a System Testing then the Test Case will be developed to validate the System as a whole End-to-end, while combining it with the required HW, Database, Networking and any other connections such as Printers, Fax or any other external supporting SW application. Here, while an input is given to the System, the System's behavior to handle the input data and its final expected out put will be verified.

And finally if it is User Acceptance Testing, then the Test Cases will be developed from the User's requirements perspective.


Sanity Testing
=============

It is to test the basic required functionality of the developed system.

Verification and Validation
===========================

Verification is basically to see that the "Right product is built".

Validation is to see that the "Product is built right".

test case: A set of inputs, execution preconditions, and expected outcomes developed for a particular objective, such as to exercise a particular program path or to verify compliance with a specific requirement. After [IEEE,do178b]

For each testcase answer these questions: "what is to be tested", "How is it tested ( the detailed steps ), "What data is to be input", "What results are expected"

Verification: [Reviews] Testing without executing the sw (specs,help docs,code etc)

Validation: Testing by actual execution of sw (exe, jar etc)

Test case: test case is a document which describes action,event,expected result,in future that object is perfectly working or not.

Test case should be developed based on to the input requirement,and to check that object perfectly working or not.

Test plan: Test plan is a document which describes object,scope and focus on the software testing efforts.

Test plan should be developed whenever requirement is getting at the time test plan should developed.

Sanity testing: sanity testing is a cursor testing it is performed whenever the cursor testing is sufficient to prove the application is functioning according  to the specification.

Verification: verification refers set of activities that ensure built into traceable to the customer requirement.

Validation:Validation refers different set of activities that ensure  software is correctly implement or not.

Test cases should be prepared based on the requirements set before the design phase of the project(usually).It must include the expected output and the input to be given.

Verification-Checking if each method is functional and testing if expected output equals actual  output.

Validation-Checking if the system as a whole meets the customer's need.

Test Case: A document captures input conditions    
, functional flow , its expected output related to the functionality to be checked.

The above mentioned content varies according to the types of Testing we perform.

Eg. Test case of a command button

  Descp:Validating the enable property of a command button.

Steps to be fallowed
Step1 : Place the mouse over the button and     click .
Step2 : Button should open the active window.

The Remaining columns is left blank to get the feedback from the functional perfomance of the event.

test plan is how u plan to test an application
test case is checking each executable step whether it is functioning which has 0ne step or n number of steps.
sanity test its a random check done for each module,it certifies the test case
verification test case -is a positive testing which provides a valid information as validation test case is a negative testing which provides a invalid information

Test Plan is designed based on user requirements and design specifications and it clearly implies the strategy what you perform in whole testing process

Test Cases and Test Script

Test Case is performing the various possible ways of running sub cases , both in Positive means and Negative means and make it valid by giving exact input and output at the end of all Probabilities to see if the expected results and actual results are matching based on design specifications

Test Script is performed based on the Actions performed using testing tools and the script which gets generated is called as Test Script

I guess what Ram asked is about "Sanitary Testing" not "sanity Testing"

Sanitary Testing : Its not widely practiced it can be defined as a phase of testing done to check the Extra functionalities of the Application.

Sanity testing is cursory testing, and performed whenever cursory testing 'is' sufficient to prove the application is functioning according to specifications. Sanity testing is a subset of regression testing. It normally includes a set of core tests such as basic GUI functionality to demonstrate connectivity to the database, application servers, printers, etc.
