Testauskenariot, often translated as test scenarios, are fundamental to software testing and quality assurance. A test scenario is a high-level description of a specific user goal or task that needs to be tested. It outlines the conditions under which a particular feature or aspect of the software is validated. Rather than detailing specific steps, a test scenario focuses on the 'what' and 'why' of the test.

For instance, a test scenario for an e-commerce website might be "Verify that a user can successfully purchase a product." This scenario encompasses various aspects, such as adding an item to the cart, proceeding to checkout, entering payment information, and confirming the order. Within this broader scenario, numerous detailed test cases would be developed to cover specific functionalities, edge cases, and error conditions.

The primary purpose of test scenarios is to ensure comprehensive test coverage and to provide a clear understanding of what needs to be tested from a user's perspective. They help in organizing testing efforts, prioritizing tests, and communicating the scope of testing to stakeholders. Effective test scenarios are derived from requirements, user stories, and business objectives. They serve as a bridge between high-level functional requirements and detailed test case execution, ensuring that all critical user journeys are validated.
