    Re: test scenarios

    Test scenario is a collection of logically related test cases.

    Eg.

    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.

    Lack of WILL POWER has caused more failure than
    lack of INTELLIGENCE or ABILITY.

    Re: test scenarios

    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..

    Re: testing scenario

    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

    Re: test scenarios

    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...

    Regards,
    Narin Kamuni

    Re: test scenarios

    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
