Here’s the sample HRMS payroll system screenshot. We are basing our manual test cases based on these software features and available options.

How does the HR Payroll System or Human Resource Management System program works?

As you can see employee management system image, the software has the system to check the employee days under work and does the calculation for the salary. It can edit, modify, and delete employees.

It can also navigate through the record using the next, previous, first, and last buttons. The software is designed in Java Swing, and the database used is Oracle. You can find additional functionality on the software hosting page.

It depends on the organization and the work structure allotted to the person. I have seen some of the complex forms in the payroll system. So I decided to pick this simple HR payroll system that you can use to understand and jot down some test cases for the same.
