Write test case for a search engine?

Answer Posted / mulugu sathish

The Test cases /Test scenarios are depend on the SRS
documentation provided by the client .In case Client did not
provided more details. Than the Test can provide
suggestions. And for the Testing purpose, if the Tester
covers as much as negative Test case it would add more
value to the Tester.

Here there are few things that to be taken care in testing
the search functionality on Web and Window.

Here are the few possible test cases/test scenarios for
Search functionality

1. Check for cursor on the search text box in the starting
position
2. Check whether the blank space is trimmed on starting of
the first word in the text box
3. On no entry done in text box, check the engine does not
display any result
4. Check no result is displayed on only single special
character is entered in text box
5. Check the search response time
6. Check the total number of results to be displayed in one page
7. Check the page resolution
8. Check the URLs' unchecked are colored BLUE & checked are
Maroon
9. Check for total number of results found for a search
10. Check whether the search text box is present on top &
bottom of the page press "back" button and Check the search
option goes backward.
11. Search with special characters (like a* should gives all
responses starting with a) incase application is providing
this functionality.
12. Search results if more should be spread over different
pages with hyperlinks
13. Junk characters in search textbox

does it take to refresh the page and come up with a result

as per spec.

it should not display any links.

Requirement from Market “Alice is talking to Bob. Bob thinks that Alice should talk to Chris for more information. Currently, Bob will pass on the directory number of Chris to Alice; Alice/Bob will disconnect the call and then Alice will initiate a new call to Chris. What we need need, Bob should be able to transfer the call to Chris, without Alice making another call.” Implementation done by Unified CM Development Team When a basic call is connected, a new softkey “Transfer” will be displayed on the IP Phone. User (say, Bob) can press that and dial a target (say, Chris). Bob has two options (1) wait for Chris to answer and then tell Chris about call from Alice and then press “transfer” again to complete transfer (2) press “Transfer” immediately; when Chris answers he will be connected to Alice Please come up with test cases thinking from a user perspective, let’s say from a Bank (there could be users such as receptionists, accountants, managers etc.) – in what all scenarios transfer can happen, any negative scenarios (cases where we don’t get a positive response always). If you think you need an enhancement to the feature, please go ahead and suggest that as well.
