A Test Scenario is any user that can be tested. Test Scenario is also known as Test Possibility or Test Condition. As an analyst, you should put yourself in the shoes of the end client and sort out the current actual situation while using examples of the Application under Test.
What Is Scenario Testing?
In programming testing, situation testing refers to an approach that uses real-world scenarios rather than experiments to test a product's applicability. Situation testing is used to test a product's complicated issues from beginning to end. Situations make it easier to test and evaluate complicated problems from beginning to end.
Why Do We Need to Create This?
Making Test Scenarios ensures accuracy. Test Coverage Test Scenarios can be endorsed by many partners such as Business Analysts, Developers, and Customers to ensure that the Application under Test is thoroughly tested. It ensures that the product is functional for the most common use cases.
They serve as a quick device for determining the testing work exertion and, if necessary, making a proposal for the customer or sorting out the labor force.
They assist in determining the primary start-to-finish exchanges or the true application of product applications. Test Scenario is essential for considering the program's operation from beginning to end.
Composing steps:
As an analyzer, you may create a test situation by following these five steps:
- To understand the features of the application to be tried, go through all of the essential archives available, such as BRD, SRS, and FSD.
- Find out what the client's prospective actions and goals are for each requirement.
- Make a list of all conceivable functionalities/situations that must be considered for each prerequisite. (Download the Test Scenarios Template.)
- Create a Traceability Matrix once all possible test scenarios have been captured to ensure that all requirements have a comparable test context.
- With the help of the Test Lead/Business Analyst, review the Test Scenario report and Traceability Matrix.
The Importance of Test Scenario:
- Test scenarios along these lines aid in evaluating the product's implementation in light of the current reality.
- When test scenarios are decided, they aid in bifurcating the scope of testing.
- Prioritization is a term that refers to the process of determining the most important features of a product application.
- Testing the functionalities in a systematic way aids in the effective use of the product application.
- As the test scenarios become more organized, the key functionalities may be quickly identified and tested as needed. This ensures that the majority of the critical functions work as expected and that any flaws are found and corrected as soon as possible.
- Test scenarios determine the product's business cycle stream, allowing for start to finish testing of the application.
- Recognize the most critical end-to-end transactions.
- It ensures that all key and expected business streams are tested, which aids in the application's start to finish testing.
For example, consider the following test scenario for an e-commerce application:
1. Examine the Login Capabilities:
- When a valid email address and password are supplied, the system will take action.
- When an invalid email address and a legitimate password are input, see what happens in the system.
- When a valid email address and an invalid password are entered, check the system's response.
- When an invalid email address and password are entered, check the system's response.
- When the email id and password are left blank and Sign-in is entered, see what happens to the system.
- Verify that forgetting your password works as planned.
- When valid/invalid phone numbers and passwords are entered, check the system's actions.
- When "Keep me signed" is selected, check the system actions.
2. Examine the Search Functions
3. Look at the Product Information Page.
4. Check out the Payments feature.
