You can look at just about any existing test case or just read the
template page:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Template:QA/Test_Case

which explains how to use the template. It's really very simple:
essentially a test case is just three sets of 'steps' specified as
numbered bullets. The 'setup' steps are things you do to prepare the
environment before doing the actual testing, the 'actions' steps are the
actual steps that you do to perform the testing, and the 'results' list
is the things that ought to be the result of the testing.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_base_startup is a nice simple
example you can look at.
