Test Scenarios in Manual Testing
1. Login Functionality:
- Verify that users can successfully log in with valid credentials.
- Test the system’s response when invalid credentials are entered.
- Check for the handling of cases with mixed uppercase and lowercase characters in usernames and passwords.
- Ensure that the system prompts users to reset their password after a specified number of unsuccessful login attempts.
2. User Registration:
- Validate that users can register with a unique username and email address.
- Check for appropriate error messages when attempting to register with an already existing username or email.
- Verify that the system enforces password complexity requirements during registration.
- Test the confirmation email process for new user registration.
3. Data Validation:
- Input special characters, numbers, and alphabets into text fields to ensure proper data validation.
- Test the system’s response to input that exceeds the maximum allowable length for fields.
- Validate that mandatory fields are enforced during form submission.
- Check for proper formatting of date, time, and numeric inputs.
4. Navigation and Usability:
- Verify that all links and buttons navigate to the correct pages.
- Test the system’s response to browser back and forward navigation.
- Ensure consistency in the layout and design across different browsers and devices.
- Validate that the user interface is intuitive and user-friendly.
5. Security:
- Test for session management security by logging in from multiple devices and verifying sessions are managed appropriately.
- Check for proper handling of SQL injection attempts in text fields.
- Verify that sensitive information (such as passwords) is not stored in plain text.
- Test for secure transmission of data over HTTPS.
6. Performance:
- Evaluate system response time under normal and peak load conditions.
- Test the application’s behavior when multiple users simultaneously perform actions.
- Verify the system’s ability to handle large datasets without performance degradation.
- Check for memory leaks during extended usage.
7. Compatibility:
- Test the application on different browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) to ensure cross-browser compatibility.
- Verify the application’s responsiveness on various devices, including desktops, tablets, and smartphones.
- Ensure compatibility with different operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux).
8. Accessibility:
- Test the application with screen readers to ensure it is accessible to users with visual impairments.
- Check for proper keyboard navigation and focus order.
- Verify that all form elements have appropriate labels for screen reader users.
- Ensure that the application meets accessibility standards (e.g., WCAG).
