Overview

In this tutorial, we will learn how to write manual test cases for a registration page. Registration Page test cases in this tutorial are not verbose to list out all the test cases. The main aim of the tutorial is to make you learn how to write test cases on your own.

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

 

The system then sends a verification mail to the user with a link. The user needs to verify the email address by clicking on 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 to the system.

 

Sample Registration Page URL for this example:

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

Users

• 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. Partial table schema is shown in the picture.

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.
