1️⃣ Login Functionality
Why it matters: Login pages are everywhere. Testing this helps ensure only valid users gain access.
- Valid login with correct credentials
- Log in with incorrect email/password
- Blank email and password fields
- Password masked while typing
- “Remember Me” checkbox works properly
2️⃣ Registration Page
Why it matters: Sign-up forms are critical for user onboarding. Errors here could stop users from joining.
- All mandatory fields checked
- Email format validation
- Password and Confirm Password match
- Error message on existing email
- Terms and conditions checkbox behaviour
3️⃣ Search Functionality
Why it matters: Good search features improve user experience and data discovery.
- Search with a valid keyword returns results
- Search with no keyword shows a message
- Special characters handled correctly
- Auto-suggestions work (if enabled)
4️⃣ Form Validation
Why it matters: Ensures data is captured correctly and safely before submission.
- Mandatory fields cannot be skipped
- Validations like email, phone number, etc.
- Field limits and special character restrictions
- Error messages are shown correctly
5️⃣ Add to Cart (e-Commerce)
Why it matters: For shopping applications, testing cart behaviour is critical.
- Product added to cart successfully
- Quantity updated correctly
- Cart total updates automatically
- Removing an item reflects immediately
6️⃣ Payment Gateway Testing
Why it matters: Payments are sensitive. Even minor issues can cost customers.
- Valid credit/debit card payment success
- Invalid card info shows proper error
- Payment cancellation redirects properly
- The transaction summary appears after success
7️⃣ Profile Management
Why it matters: Users expect to manage their profiles without bugs.
- Edit profile data and save successfully
- Blank or invalid data validation
- Profile image upload works
- Success and error messages display properly
8️⃣ File Upload and Download
Why it matters: A Common feature in resumes, reports, and certificates.
- Upload supported file types only (e.g., .jpg, .pdf)
- File size limit enforced
- Download starts automatically or shows a preview
- Security validation to prevent malicious uploads
9️⃣ Logout and Session Expiry
Why it matters: Essential for account security and user control.
- The user should log out and be redirected to the login page
- Session timeout after inactivity
- Accessing the URL after logging out should show that the session has expired
🔟 UI & Responsiveness Testing
Why it matters: First impression matters. The app must look and work great on all devices.
- UI aligned properly (buttons, input fields, etc.)
- Page loads correctly on different screen sizes
- Mobile menu toggles work
- No overlapping or cut text
💡 Pro Tip:
Use a test case format to write these scenarios clearly. Include:
- Test Case ID
- Title
- Steps
- Test Data
- Expected Result
- Status (Pass/Fail)
