RE: There are 3 mandatory fields and 3 optional fields...

1. 3 mandatiory fields and 3 optional fields are not defined and clarified clearly. What are the fields? Field contains text string or number or date? The possible cases depend on the field type.

2. There are 3x3 positive cases can be written. however if you apply pairwise technique you can reduce the positive case.

Hi

It would be a better help if mentioned the field type now we can write the cases only for Optional or mand fields. Briefly we can write the cases like below

1. Submit the page with empty optional fields and verify whether the val msgs shown for optional fields

2. Each time leave any one of the optional feilds submit the page and verify whether the val msgs shown

3. Submit the page with empty mand fields and verify whether the val msgs shown for mand fields

4. Each time leave any one of the mand feilds submit the page and verify whether the val msgs shown

To anwser this question we need to assume something.

We understand that we have several testing techniques to design test cases from user requirements. In this case you mentioned something unclear therefore it will be hard to anwser the question correctly. In this case you need to clarify in details about the 3 mandatory fields and 3 optional fields. If not you can assume and anwser the question with your assumption. In addition depend on how developers handle errors in this case. If they handle field by field then the total test cases will increase. If they handle all fields at the same time then the test cases will reduce.

That is why testing is so hard and flexible. Testing requires both systematical methods and experienced methods.
