Test Cases for ATM Machine

Test Cases For ATM Machines: In this article, we are going to discuss some of the primary and generic positive and negative test cases for atm test cases. If you want to know more about our previously discussed test cases or test scenarios. Here are those:

When you are starting testing the ATM Machine, you have to test all possible scenarios. Because if you have missed some of the test scenarios for atm machine, then the organization has to face a considerable loss. So when you start testing ATM machines a few things you have to keep in mind:

• Performance
• Accuracy
• Reliability

If you want to achieve all the above points for ATM Machine, then you have to test each separate component, after that integration testing after assembling all the elements, and finally, need to perform performance testing.

When the interviewer asked, to write the test scenarios for ATM machine. That time interviewer is looking at your approach to the topic without details requirements on how you can write the test case. Because no one can write the test case without any test case document. So it’s the first action item before starting any test case is to ask for the requirement specification document.

Depending on the design of the ATM terminal, the following positive and negative test cases for atm machine can be formed. If you’re familiar with the bank’s terminal, you may notice that there are always more test cases that you can check for and verify if the software functions as expected.

The more you know about any bank’s ATM terminal, the more you can write in your atm machine test cases. You can also take a walk outside and check out the functionality of your debit card in a nearby ATM.

Note: ATM Test cases may vary from one bank to another due to the way these terminals are designed. Also, each bank has its own way to handle the sequence in which cash is being taken out. For example:

• Some banks require additional PIN entry before the money is taken out for an extra layer of security. Some banks don’t allow free withdrawals from other banks’ ATMs etc.
• However, the functionality of some of the ATM Machines can be visualized in general. In this post, I’m assuming a lot of functionality of ATM, which you may or may not notice for your bank.

ATM Machine UI Testing

• Check on the screen all labels buttons, links & images are appearing correctly.
• Check whatever is written on the screen is visible.
• Check the application UIO is responsive.
• Check whether the ATM Machine is a full touch screen, or it also supports Keyboard and Touch screen functionality.

• Check the ATM card is as per the specification document.
• After entering the Debit/Credit card in the card, reader users should be able to select language and operations like withdrawal, language change, mini statement, and other options.

• If the user enters more amounts than the account balance, then the user should get an error message.
• The ATM should have a waiting period between the user session log out and activating another account.

• If allowed bank ATM card is entered, then only the user is able to do the operations.
• Check if the ATM Machine can find the wrong pin or not.

• Check if the user three times the wrong password, then the account should be locked.
• If the user lacks money, then he should receive a warning message.
• If the user inserted an expired card, then the user should not be able to perform any action.

• Check whether an error message is displayed or not when the ATM does have the currency on it.
• Check whether an error message is displayed or not when there is some network issue.
• Check after the money release it is asking or not for the user confirmation to print the transaction receipt.
• Check during the transaction if there is some power failure or network issue comes then the transaction should be marked as nulled and no amount should be dispatched.

• Check unsuccessful withdrawal operation due to clicking cancel after inserting ATM card, pin number, language, account type, withdrawal operation &amount to be Withdrawal in ATM machine.

Final Words

I hope after going through all of these test scenarios, you have got an idea about the ATM Machine because we are trying to cover UI, Positive, and negative test scenarios in our test cases for the atm machines. You can take the below things as a challenge, and try to answer those. So, you can improve your knowledge:

In this post, we are trying to cover the widespread and generic scenarios of ATM machines. But still, we believe if you think about more situations, then you may find some other scenarios. Let us know in the comment section of the then missed scene so that we can update this article.
