Testers determine whether the application is working correctly or not based on the test case that is being executed. A test case is marked as "Pass" if the application works as expected and is marked as "Fail" if otherwise. Test cases also aide in generating test status metrics.

d.) Test Condition

g.) Test Bed

Test bed is the environment on which the testing is done and includes the software and hardware set up that is required for testing the application.
