suggestions. And for the Testing purpose, if the Tester

value to the Tester.

the search functionality on Web and Window.

Search functionality

position

Answer / hanson joseph
Mainly test cases are mapping with the SRS
if there is nothing specified about its functionality we can
go through these sections
1. Search Box should allow user to enter some key
words and should display full letter properly
2. check the field size of the search field ( max and min)
3. create non logic search key words like special
characters, decimal points, and blank space.
4. Search with out entering any keywords.
5. is there is any order of displaying the search results (
like recently posted should come first) depends on SRS
