Find Replace Test Cases

Test Case For Find Replace | Find Replace Test Case

In this post, I’m listing Find Replace test cases. The dialog box to find and replace usually is a part of word processors, text editor, and applications that involve the ability to change data. Most of the standard applications in which you can find this dialog box inside Microsoft Word, Notepad++, and OpenOffice.

Some of the database applications have large entries that can be found and modified using the “Find and Replace” dialog box.

I am using the dialog box offered by the Editpad Lite application. If you want to see better find and replace dialog boxes for more test cases, you may want to use Microsoft Word. See the screenshot below for understanding the “find and replace” feature.
