Overview

Once the testing team documents all the testcases for the application, they can be sent for review to the senior members of the project. After successfully reviewing the testcases, the testing team can execute the testcases in the execution phase.

Test execution involves executing or running the application test cases and marking/updating the test case status. The tester compares the actual result to the expected result. If both results match, the tester marks the test case as Passed. If the results don’t match, the tester marks the test case as Failed.

Other Test case execution statuses are discussed here:
