Base Case: The simplest instance or the starting point in a series of scenarios, typically used as a benchmark in the context of scenario analysis or problem-solving. For instance, in testing a new security feature, the base case could represent the system’s behavior without the new feature being implemented. By examining the base case, one can understand how deviations from this base scenario (like introducing new features or changes) affect the system’s performance or security.
