Core Concepts
Tests and Results
Scenarios are groups of test cases that belong together
Scenarios
Scenarios are groups of test cases that belong together. They are best organized around user flows, such as:
Login
Product Search
Add to shopping cart
Checkout
Notification Settings
Each scenario should optimally include both positive and negative test cases. For example, a “Checkout Process” scenario might include:
Successful purchase with valid payment details
Order completion with fedex shipping
Payment attempt with expired credit card (negative case)
Checkout with empty cart (negative case)
This structure helps ensure comprehensive testing of each user flow, including both expected successes and potential failure points.
Negative Testing
Negative testing is a QA practice that validates how a system handles invalid inputs, unexpected user behavior, and error conditions. Think of it as “testing what shouldn’t work” to ensure the application fails gracefully and securely.
Validating error messages
Ensuring system stability under incorrect usage
Preventing security vulnerabilities
Maintaining data integrity
Tests and Test Runs
Every time a test run is triggered, we run the selected scenarios. The result is a test run with one or more test cases in it.
