... I also found another solution reposter before:

----
\ctxlua{commands.testcase(condition)}
   { If true...}
   {If false}
----

Note that both blocks (if-true and if-false) are mandatory.

Considering Wolfgang's last answer, it would be better to write:

----
\ctxcommand{testcase(condition)}
   { If true...}
   {If false}
----
