test scenarios

what are test scenarios? with examples

Test scenario is a collection of logically related test cases.:confused:

Eg.:D

Imagine an application that doesn’t allow an administrator to login to 2 or more different systems at the same time.

So, to check if this security restriction of the application works fine, there may be test cases where the administrator is already logged in and also test cases where the administrator is not already logged in. These are 2 different scenarios and there will be a collection of test cases in each of these scenarios.:cool:

Test scenario is combination of test.In a scenario we execute different test.We see what a user can do for a particular action.

test scenarios examples:
scenario: you have login-inbox-logout

scenario1:login-check mail-logout
scenario2:login-compose mail,save draft,send mail, logout
scenario3:login-read mail,forward,delete mail, no logout

like this you can list different scenarios..
system testing uses all these scenarios.. its also known as end-to-end testing

most of the time, scenarios will have different set of screens involved execution flow..

Hi..can anyone tell me what is a testing scenario, what is a scenario based testing ...if possible please explain with a example

A scenario test is a test based on a hypothetical story used to help a person think through a complex problem or system. They can be as simple as a diagram for a testing environment or they could be a description written in prose. The ideal scenario test has five key characteristics. It is (a) a story that is (b) motivating, (c) credible, (d) complex, and (e) easy to evaluate. They are usually different from test cases in that test cases are single steps and scenarios cover a number of steps. Test suites and scenarios can be used in concert for complete system tests

Hi,

A test scenario is a series of user actions which have to converted into test cases.

For eg: We have a online tax application which calculate tax and files our returns to the Government. The few test scenarios can be as follows
-> Student filing his tax
-> An employee filing his tax
-> A widow filing her tax
-> A business man filing is tax
-> A Farmer filing tax

Now, we can take one of the test scenarios and start writing the test cases on it... let us take a 'Student filing the tax returns':
-> Test case showing more income and comes taxable
-> Test case showing more income but which is below the taxable income
-> and so on...

hi,

Test scenario: For ex you have to check your mail

Test steps:

1. Enter the URL( in which you have mail account)
2. Enter the username
3. Enter the password
4. Click on sign-in button
5. you will be logged in once the username and password is correct
6. Click on inbox
7. list of mails will be displayed, u can delete the mail or send the reply to the mail or move the mail to the trash. It depends upon you

These are the few test steps based on this you can add some positive and negative steps
to validate the application.

Thanks

Test scenarios are set of ways or steps of approaching an application to evaluate whether the functionality is working satisfactorily or not as defined in system requirement specification .
