First of all, we start with the basics of testing:

Unit tests test only a single "unit" of the code (say a module or a class), to see if it behaves as expected. They generally make sure that the behaviour of the module is sane and desirable, while not trying to see if it works as part of the larger scheme.

For example,

Your e-commerce webapp server code is structured as below:

• Controller Layer - UI component's entry point to your system
• Service Layer or Facade Layer - Controllers in each flow invoke various services like usersService, accountService, financeService to get the data to be displayed in the UI.
• DAO (Data Access Objects) Layer - Services internally calls different DAO(s) to fetch/manipulate data in the Database.

Unit tests check methods (unit of code) in each of these components separately to see whether these units of code are working properly individually.

Integration tests test a call to controllers (the REST API or SOAP service or plain HTTP request) is working properly or not. Let’s say, there is a call to the system which gets product details in your e-commerce application. This call to controller, internally invokes controllers, services, DAO(s) and get the data.

So, in your integration test you check that the data fetched from this REST call is correct or not.

Talking about System tests, it tests the entire end to end customer flow, which would involve various REST calls.

For example, consider the below flow:

1.     Customer searches for a product in the search box. It internally calls the search REST API (or controller as u say).

2.     This service fetches a product list and populates a List or a GRID in the UI.

3.     Customer clicks on a particular product. Another REST API is called for fetching the product details

4.     The product details are populated in a popup box or in a new page.

5.     Customer clicks on Add to Favorites. Another REST API is called to save the product in the favorites of that particular customer and returns a true or false, based on the fact that particular product could be added in the favorites or not.

6.     Based on the result the favorites icon will appear in the product details page.

So, it could be populated in the table as per you format as below:

Test case Name	Add to Favorites Flow
Purpose	Test end to end flow of customer product selection to add to favorites Button.
Test Description	Test code invokes the SearchService to fetch the product details. http://test.ecommerceapp.com/search/product?keyword=android%20mobile Test code invokes the ProductDetailsService to get the product details. http://test.ecommerceapp.com/product/details?productId=45196388 Test code calls the UserService to add the product with a specific productId in the user favorites. http://test.ecommerceapp.com/user/addToFavorites?productId=45196388&userId=1098776213 Test code evaluates the UserService response. Test code evaluates that data has been written to the database.
Expected Results	UserService should return false, since the product is obsolete and obsolete products are not allowed to be added in the favorites.
Actual Result	UserService returned false
Status	Pass
Remarks	System is working as expected

Similarily, other flows can also be tested, for example,

1. Change customer address end to end flow.

2. Checkout the products in the user cart end to end flow.

3. Show search suggestions flow, etc.
