Answer / avashesh
Negative test cases are written to test the output of the
system on providing the invalid input. Primary objective of
negative test cases is "System should not break in case of
invalid input."
ex: If System contain a field called postal code which can
only accept numeric value of length 6 then negative test
case would be
1. Enter 5 characters in postal code field
2. Enter alphanumeric characters in postal code field

By providing invalid inputs.Negative testing is also called
as 'Test to Fail'.E.g There is 'Name' field (It must contain
characters only).Testing this field by entering numbers is
negative test case in this scenario.
