QUESTION 11 OF 45

Can you describe the difference between a use case and a test case?

Since integration engineers use both use cases and test cases, interviewers expect you to know the difference between these and when to apply them. Stripe likely uses both of these, so they expect you to be familiar with them and to know when which one is appropriate. You're likely to be asked this question during every interview for an integration engineer's role.

It is common for interviewers to ask you to compare two different technical concepts or processes used in this job. When responding to this type of question, you should first define each concept and then describe its use. It may be helpful to provide an example of how you would use this in one of your previous roles.

"I frequently use both use cases and test cases in my work. The differences between these are subtle. A use case is used during functional testing to provide the testers with test scenarios that exercise the whole system on each transaction from start to finish. On the other hand, test cases are used in white-box testing to simulate how the system will be used for specific functions."
