Overview

In this tutorial, we will be exploring the process of creating manual test cases for a registration page. Please note that the test cases provided in this tutorial are not exhaustive, as the main goal is to teach you how to write your own test cases.

What is a Registration Page?

New users can register for the system using the registration page. A new user can sign up and register for the service by entering some details on the page.

• Username
• Name
• Email address

Screenshot of sample registration page.

The system then sends a verification mail to the user with a link. The user must verify the email address by clicking the email link. The user is then allowed to set a password and confirm the password. The new user would be verified in the system and can log in.

 

Sample Registration Page URL for this example:

https://www.example.com/register.jsp

Users

Types of users visiting the registration website page are as follows:

• New/Unregistered Users
• Registered Users/Returning users

 

New user

Bob is a new user. Bob is registering for the system or the web application. Alice and Mark are already registered users. They have verified their email addresses and created the passwords for the application.

Registered User

Alice and Mark are called returning users. They use the Login page to authenticate and log into the system.

USERS is the back-end database table that stores the information of the users. A partial table schema is shown in the picture.

Functional Test Cases

Form Validations

Test Case Name	Test Case Steps	Test Data	Expected Result	Actual Result
Verify Form field validations.	Preconditions App Server running, Web App Deployed. Steps Launch the Browser. Navigate to the Registration page URL. Click on the Register button.		Verify that each form field is validated for invalid entries. Validation of empty values, email address validation, etc.

 

Register Test Case

Test Case Name	Test Case Steps	Test Data	Expected Result	Actual Result
Verify Register New User.	Preconditions App Server running, Web App Deployed. Steps Launch the Browser. Navigate to the Registration page URL. Enter username. Click on the Check link to check availability. Enter the name, email address. Click on the Register button.	Sample Data: testingdocs Bob bob@testingdocs.com	Verify that a Welcome message is displayed to the user. Verify that the verification email is sent to the user. A database record is inserted in the USERS table with the new user details.

GUI Test Cases

Web elements Responsive Test Case

Test Case Name	Test Case Steps	Test Data	Expected Result	Actual Result
Verify Page Responsiveness.	Preconditions App Server running, Web App Deployed. Steps Launch the Browser. Navigate to the Registration page URL Resize the browser window to mimic a smaller screen. Examine the page and the page elements.		Verify that all web GUI elements on the page are displayed properly. The fields should auto-adjust to the screen size. The page should be responsive to small/large screen sizes.

Security Test Cases

The mock-up above has security vulnerabilities.  An automated bot or script can create multiple Signup requests to craft a DoS attack. ( Denial of Service). The page should block such kinds of requests and allow only humans to register or sign up.

Test Case: Simulate bots or automated scripts to create such requests.

 

Load Test Cases

Sample 1K User Load

Test Case Name	Test Case Steps	Test Data	Expected Result	Actual Result
Verify Page load Time under 1k user load.	Preconditions App Server running, Web App Deployed. Steps Simulate 1000 Concurrent Virtual Users.( Normal Ramp-up and Normal Ramp down) Run a standard 24 hr persistence test. For Each User: Launch the Browser. Navigate to the Registration page URL Enter user details. Click on the Register button.	1000 Virtual Users.	Verify that the mean page load time < SLA. Monitor the server resources(CPU, Memory, Network and other resources). Verify Nagios Monitoring alerts.
