RE: Test Text Field

If my understanding is right. You can test the below conditions, which are BVA.
(If assumed the max length is 10)
1. Leave the field blank.(0)-If the requirement says the field is mandatory then this test should fail. If not should allow to leave it blank.
2. Enter any text with length max-1(9)
3. Enter any text with maximum length(10)
4. Enter any text with length max+1(11)

In Most cases ECP is not defined. But if its defined for example the requirement is A-Z,a-z and 0-9 are the only valid set.
Then you can test the below conditons:
1.It should give an error when a spl character is entered.
Depending on the priority of the the requirement. You can test different conditions like.a) having a spl char at start
b) having a spl char at the end. and etc.

RE: Test Text Field

A Text field can test as follows.

-> Leave it as empty, submit and verify whether the validation message is shown
( if it's a mand field)

-> Leave it as empty, submit and verify that the validation message will not be shown ( if it's a opt field)

-> Enter large data and verify how it's validating the data

-> Enter zero (0), submit the page and verify that the val message is shown if it's type of date or DOB ..etc

-> Enter special characters like !@#$%^&*()_, submit the page and verify how it's valuidating the data

-> Enter negative values, submit the page and verify how it's validating

-> Enter Float values, submit the page and verify how it's validating

RE: Test Text Field

First of all one need to find the purpose of text field.whether the field is to enter text data or numeric data or alphanumeric data.Then go for BVA.This will not only save the time but also makes easy to prepare text data.

RE: Test Text Field

First of all the tester need to find the purpuse of the text field from the requirements. Based on the requirement need to prepare test data.
There are two possilble ways to test a text field,
1) Boundary Value Analysis
2) Equivalence Class Partition.
