Software Testing Prompts Examples

AI testing prompts make it easier to automate the creation and execution of tests, freeing up testers from manual work and ensuring more comprehensive test coverage.

Examples

Some examples of AI testing prompts that might be used in a test automation framework or an AI-powered testing tool:

Functional Testing Prompts

“Generate test cases for the login feature, including tests for valid credentials, invalid credentials, and empty input fields.”
“Run tests for the checkout process of the e-commerce site. Ensure that the correct price is displayed based on the items added to the cart.”

Boundary value Testing Prompts

“Generate test cases to validate the date picker input, including testing the boundary dates (e.g., the earliest and latest possible dates).”
“Test the file upload feature by uploading various file sizes, including 0 KB, maximum allowed file size, and a file exceeding the limit.”

Security Testing Prompts

“Test the web application for SQL injection vulnerabilities. Simulate injecting common SQL commands like ‘DROP TABLE’ and ‘OR 1=1’ in the login form.”
“Perform authentication tests to check for password strength enforcement in the registration form (e.g., minimum 8 characters, uppercase letter, number).”

Performance Testing Prompts

“Perform load testing on the homepage with 1.x production load i.e. 1,000 simultaneous virtual users. Measure the page load time and server response time.”
“Simulate a stress test on the API with 500 concurrent requests to ensure the system handles high traffic smoothly without crashing.”

Exploratory Testing Prompts

“Explore the checkout flow and randomly interact with various elements to detect unexpected behavior or UI issues.”
“Simulate the behavior of a user who frequently switches between different pages, adds and removes items from the cart, and tests for stability.”

Regression Testing Prompts

“Generate test cases to validate that the recent code update didn’t break existing functionalities, such as login, account settings, and order history pages.”
“Run regression tests after the recent release to ensure that the user profile update feature still works as expected.”

API Testing Prompts

“Generate test cases for the ‘POST /login’ API, testing both valid login requests and invalid ones (e.g., wrong password, missing parameters).”
“Test the ‘GET /users’ API for different query parameters and validate the returned data matches the expected user list.”

Usability Testing Prompts

“Generate test cases to validate that error messages are displayed when the user submits an incomplete form (e.g., missing required fields like name or email).”
“Simulate a user journey from registration to profile editing to ensure all UI elements are clear, easy to navigate, and responsive.”
