Are test points the same as test cases?

Reader Questions:

Ah Chang, I would like to ask, is a test point equivalent to a test case? Can the test point obtained from the requirement analysis be directly used as a test case for execution?

A Chang replied:

A test point is not the same as a test case and cannot be used directly to guide the test.

1. There may be redundancy in the content of test points, unclear test input, too coarse test granularity, similar operating environment and a series of problems.

2. The test point needs to be "processed" before it can become a test case.

3. We need to "de-duplicate", "merge" and "refine" the test points, and then determine the test conditions, input data and output results of each test point.

4. The test point is a collection of scattered test ideas.

5. A test case is an instruction manual that correctly guides the test.

A Chang's thoughts:

How to process test points into test cases, we will continue to discuss in the next question.
