1.Test for functionality of the lift.Check for no of levels in the building(-1 to 7 or -1 to 6)).Operable level of the lift.(say -1 to 6)2.Check for no of buttons in the lift.3.Maximum capacity(in kg as well as in no of people)4.Check for some alert message if weight is more than max.5.Some usability test-cases like: a)the height of the buttons(for short height people). b)Fan button c)Alarm button in case of emergency d)availability of phone in case of emergency. e)Exit door at top. f)Light facility in the lift. g)some back-up power mode in case of power cut(advanced feature).6.Check for up and down button at each floor.7.check for scenarios like if person is on sixth floor and lift is in 1st floor, if a user at 4th floor wants to go down by pressing the down button whether the lift stops at 4th and then he is able to go down or the lift goes up(starvation and deadlock issues are handled)many more test cases are there..........

RE: How will you test a newly installed elevator? What will you be the broad categories of your test cases.
Because an elevator is a physical device it is fundamentally different. Testing a new elevator to failure is obviously not an option. After all of the limit tests are performed you would need to examine all of the equipment again; to make sure that it was not damaged by subjecting the elevator to its maximum load.
RE: How will you test a newly installed elevator? What will you be the broad categories of your test cases.
Negative Test:
Suppose user is on 1st floor and he press button for floor 1 only. Then lift should not move from the position at all. Also the doors should remain open.
