Test case gives detailed information about strategy, testing process, preconditions, and expected output. These are executed during the testing process to check whether the software application is performing the task for that it was developed or not.
Test case helps the tester in a defect reporting by linking defect with test case ID. Detailed test case documentation works as a proof guard for the testing team because if the developer missed something, then it can be caught during execution of these full-proof test cases.
Black box testing is a technique of software testing which examines the functionality of software without peering into its internal structure or coding. is a specification of requirements that are stated by the customer.
