Test Cases- A practical example

Let me provide some test cases for different type of testing with a common example. Hope it will help those who like to know about test cases. Let us consider yahoo mail as an example. We are on the log in page and want to test that.

Our functional test cases can include:
1-Check the character lenght of User ID and Password fields
2- When a User enters three false entries in user ID and password field, then a alert mesage should come
3-The login window should be in the right hand side of the screen
4-whether user can enter his User ID and password in more than one system
5-Forgot password and help options should be there in login window.
6-When a user enters invalid user ID and password. An alert message should come

our performance test cases can include:
1-Check the response time when the yahoo mail window open in your system.
2-When a user enters a valid user ID and password , check the response time.
3-When a user enters invalid user ID and password,check the response time.

Our load testing test cases can include:
1- When more than one user enters the same user ID and password in different systems , check the response time.
2-check the reponse time form the server when a number of user hits the Yahoo mail server.

Our Stress testing test cases can include:
1- When more than one user enters the same user ID and password in different systems , check the response time.

Our security testing test cases can include:
1-Check for the SSL certificate when the user enters a valid user ID and password.
2- check for the "https " address for secure login
3-For three invalid entries in user ID and password , there should be an alert message.

Hope this will help to understand about test cases. I will post a formal test case example for other testers convenience, in future.

I Managed to pass ISEB

Hi mates,
sorry for the delay in posting. I had been busy reading for the ISEB certification in software testing. By god's grace I passed the exam with considerable percentage. That is the main reason for not posting anything so far. From today onwards i will try my best to post on daily basis..
