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

Read only Fields Enter some data in the read only fields.
Try to enter special characters which should not be allowed
in a field.

Answer / varshab
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.

Answer / mudaseer
negatives test cases means invalid test cases which is
written to ensure that the test cases fail .for example in
atm when u enter in multiples of 230 it should display
please enter in multiples of 100 and in sign in page when
you enter valid mail id but wrong password it should not
allow you inside. and if u dont enter username and password
in sign in page it should display please enter user name and
password here we are writing invalid test cases
