  <mainDescription>&lt;p&gt;
    A test case specifies the conditions which need to be validated to enable an assessment of some particular aspects of
    the system under test.&amp;nbsp; A test case is more formal than a test idea and usually takes the form of a
    specification.&amp;nbsp;In less formal environments, test cases can be created by identifying a unique ID, name, associated
    test data, and expected results.&amp;nbsp;For an example of this type of test case, see&amp;nbsp;&lt;a class=&quot;elementLinkWithType&quot; href=&quot;./../../openup_basic/guidances/templates/test_case,_0dT8IMlgEdmt3adZL5Dmdw.html&quot; guid=&quot;_0dT8IMlgEdmt3adZL5Dmdw&quot;&gt;Template: Test Case&lt;/a&gt;.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    Test cases may be derived from&amp;nbsp;many&amp;nbsp;sources but will usually include a subset of both the requirements (such
    as use cases, performance characteristics, reliability concerns) and other types of quality attributes.&amp;nbsp; For more
    information on types of tests and their relationship to quality test attributes, see&amp;nbsp;&lt;a class=&quot;elementLinkWithType&quot; href=&quot;./../../openup_basic/guidances/concepts/types_of_test,_0aJ6cMlgEdmt3adZL5Dmdw.html&quot; guid=&quot;_0aJ6cMlgEdmt3adZL5Dmdw&quot;&gt;Concept: Types of Test&lt;/a&gt;.

  <purpose>&lt;p&gt;
    The purpose of this artifact is to:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
        provide a way to capture test inputs, conditions, and expected results for a system
    &lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
        systematically identify aspects of the software to test
    &lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
        specify whether an expected result has been reached based on verification of a system requirement, set of
        requirements, or scenario
    &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;</purpose>
