A short, high-level statement of something worth testing, usually framed around what a user might do or a piece of functionality the product offers. It describes what to test rather than how, and a single scenario often breaks down into several more detailed test cases.
So what? Test scenarios give a quick way to map out the scope of testing and decide what matters most before anyone writes detailed steps. They also make testing easier to discuss with people outside the testing role.
Examples: “Check that a returning user can log in.” “Check that a customer can complete checkout using a saved card.” “Check what a visitor sees when they follow a broken link.”
