Test Planing - Tell me how do you test this web form

 Web form params :

• Title
• Full name
• Address
• Telephone

Functional Testing:

• Field Validation:
  • Title: Ensure the field accepts predefined values (e.g., Mr., Mrs., Dr.). Verify dropdown functionality if applicable.
  • Full Name: Check for acceptance of alphabetic characters, length constraints, and handling of special characters (e.g., hyphens, apostrophes).
  • Address: Verify acceptance of various formats, including alphanumeric characters, special characters (e.g., commas, periods), and different lengths.
  • Telephone: Test for numeric input, length constraints, and formatting (e.g., dashes, spaces).
• Mandatory Fields: Test form submission with and without each field to ensure required fields are properly validated.
• Default Values: Ensure fields have correct default values or placeholders as needed.
• Form Submission: Verify form submission with valid and invalid data, and check for appropriate success or error messages.

Boundary Value Analysis:

• Minimum and Maximum Length: Test each field with minimum and maximum allowed characters.
• Edge Cases: For example, test the Full Name field with single-character names and very long names.

Negative Testing:

• Invalid Inputs: Enter invalid data (e.g., numbers in the Full Name field, alphabetic characters in the Telephone field) and ensure proper error messages are displayed.
• Empty Submissions: Attempt to submit the form with empty fields to verify validation errors.

Usability Testing:

• User Experience: Ensure that the form is user-friendly, with clear labels and instructions.
• Tab Order: Verify the tabbing order of the fields is logical and sequential.
• Error Messages: Check that error messages are clear, specific, and placed near the relevant fields.

Accessibility Testing:

• Screen Readers: Test the form with screen readers to ensure it is accessible to visually impaired users.
• Keyboard Navigation: Verify that all fields and buttons can be accessed and operated using the keyboard alone.

Performance Testing:

• Load Testing: Simulate multiple users submitting the form simultaneously to check how the system handles high load.
• Response Time: Ensure the form submission and response times are within acceptable limits.

Security Testing:

• SQL Injection: Ensure that the form is protected against SQL injection attacks by entering special characters or SQL statements in the input fields.
• XSS (Cross-site Scripting): Test for vulnerabilities by entering scripts in the input fields.
• Data Encryption: Verify that data transmitted through the form is encrypted (e.g., using HTTPS).

Cross-browser and Cross-device Testing:

• Browser Compatibility: Test the form on different web browsers (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) to ensure consistent behavior.
• Responsive Design: Check the form on various devices (e.g., desktop, tablet, mobile) to ensure it is responsive and functional across all screen sizes.

Example Explanation:

"To test the web form with fields for Title, Full Name, Address, and Telephone, I would begin with functional testing, ensuring each field accepts valid inputs and behaves as expected. For example, I would verify that the Title field only accepts predefined values, and the Telephone field correctly handles numeric input and formatting.

I would then conduct boundary value analysis to test the minimum and maximum length constraints for each field and perform negative testing by entering invalid data to ensure appropriate error messages are displayed. Usability testing would involve checking the user experience, tab order, and clarity of error messages.

Accessibility testing would ensure the form is usable with screen readers and keyboard navigation. Performance testing would include load testing and checking the response times. Security testing would involve testing for SQL injection, XSS vulnerabilities, and ensuring data encryption.

Finally, I would conduct cross-browser and cross-device testing to ensure the form functions consistently across different browsers and devices."
