Test Case For Calendar Startdate And End Date Field [ 2024 ]

What We Are Learn:

Calendar Test Cases: Welcome to another new post of the test case series. This post will teach us how to write test cases for calendars. When you click on the date field, a calendar Popup will open from here, and you can select a date.

Before I start writing how to write a test case for the date field, let me ask a few simple questions. Do you have any prior knowledge of how to write test cases? If you have, then you can proceed with the post, but if you don’t have any experience on how to write test cases, then we can recommend you go through with our previous post.

You may get confused if you have no prior knowledge of writing test cases and have jumped into this post. That’s why we suggest you start from the fundamental topics like your test case and require a test case in our organization. After that, you can go with some of the previously shared cases.

Now, let’s start with how we can write meaningful and straightforward test cases for the date field. If you want to know how the date field behaves, we have added an example of a date-filled calendar. You can go through that calendar field and try to understand its functionality.

Calendar Test Cases – Date Field Example

You can use the below code to see an example. You need to copy the whole code and save the calendar.html file.

<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
  <title>jQuery UI Datepicker - Default functionality</title>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="/resources/demos/style.css">
  <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js"></script>
  <script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js"></script>
  <script>
  $( function() {
    $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker();
  } );
  </script>
</head>
<body>
 <p>Date: <input type="text" id="datepicker"></p>

Check for the month changed to the previous month by clicking the Prev text link.
Check for the month changed to after months by clicking on the next text link.

Requirements For Write Calendar App Test Cases

These two are the basic requirements of any calendar, whether a paper calendar or even a digital calendar app. Anything more than this should be considered an extra feature and luxury for users. So, we will keep this basic requirement in mind and test for the scenarios that include this and the features specific to the calendar app in MIUI ROM.

Calendar Test Cases

Here are some of the Test Cases For Calendar Applications Or Calendar Test Cases:

Does this calendar app show the current date?
Does this calendar app show the current month?
How are the previous dates highlighted or shadowed?
Does the date in the past or future allow editing for notes?
Does the calendar app allow adding the option of tasks?
Does the calendar app allow displaying the current year?
Does the app allow navigation for the previous months of the year?
Does the calendar app allow settings for the UI colors?
Does the calendar show any religious significance of the date?
Does the calendar show any historical significance of the date?
Does the calendar follow your time zone?
Does the calendar default to China or the US timezone?
Does the calendar app have columns for each day to sort dates?
Does the calendar have any way to highlight the current date?
Does the calendar app have visibility for the current holidays?
Does the calendar app have the option to customize it?
Does the calendar app allow the user to add a horoscope option?
Does the calendar app allow storing the birthday?
Does this calendar app allow you to store events?
Does this calendar app allow you to store the anniversary?
Does this calendar app allow you to store countdowns?
Does this calendar app allow you to sync with your Mi account?
Does this calendar app allow you to sync with your Google account?
Does this calendar app allow you to check panchang (Hindu star-sign significance)?
Does this calendar app allow you to retain data if you move to another device?

High-Level Test Cases For Calendar Application

A user wants to add an item to the calendar.
The user wants to include and invite an attendee to their calendar item.
A user wants to upload an attachment to their calendar item from a desktop.
A user wants to upload an attachment to their calendar item from a tablet
A user wants to upload an attachment to their calendar item from the mobile device
A user wants to amend their calendar item.
A user wants to cancel their calendar item.
A user wants to remove an invitee.
A user wants to share an online video meeting link (e.g., Zoom/WebEx) to their invite.

Positive Test Cases For Calendar Application

Verify that the Calendar Application is being rendered correctly according to the design specification. (Layout, icons, colors, design elements, etc.)
Verify Calendar Year, Month, Day, and Date are displayed as per requirement
Enter a Valid Date – (This is usually via a date picker calendar control or a text box).
In the Date, Field enter a Valid Month
In the Date, Field enter a Valid Year
In the Day Field, enter a Valid Input.
In the Date, Field enter a Valid End Date
Verify Calendar Control is visible when selected.
Verify the calendar application displays the current date
Verify the date format is as expected (this will differ depending on your country and language).
Verify more than one person cannot edit the same record concurrently.

Negative Test Cases For Calendar Application

In your negative testing scenarios, you can use the following cases. Each negative test case should aim to show an error so that you can see how the system under test reacts. Most defects are found during this testing, so testers must be as detailed as possible when running these tests.

Enter an Invalid Date
In the Date, Field enter an Invalid Month
In the Date, Field enter an Invalid Year
In the Date, Field enter an Invalid End Date
In the Day Field, enter an Invalid Input.

I can think of some test cases for calendar applications. Again, you can go into more depth with feature-specific tests. Like, say, syncing and adding events, etc. You can get deeper depending on how you wish to test them. Most automated tests make it easier for you to cover multiple tests.

Conclusion

After reviewing this post, I thought you learned how to write test cases in the data field. If you are still finding more test cases on the date field, you can inform me that I was in the comment section by writing or adding a comment below.

If you want to try on some test scenarios, we can recommend the best ones. If you want to share for the review, go to the Contact Us page and share your test scenarios or cases.
