We can check many things in one test case, then Is it necessary to write separate test case for checking each functionality? Example : For Login Window --> Test Case is---> 1) Enter valid user id & password --> For this expected result --> 1) User should login. My question --> while executing above valid test case, we can expect more than one result such as "Visibility of password should be as ****" So Should I have to write separate test case for "Visibility of Password" OR Not? Please guide me properly.
