Test Case For Lift

Test Case For Lift | Test Scenarios For Lift: This Lift Test Case question is asked in many interviews regardless of years of experience. I have noticed that the more experience you have, the more basic questions like these appear. So here are some of my test scenarios and positive and negative test cases for an elevator.

Test Scenarios: You can develop plenty of test scenarios, but I suggest the following test scenarios for the easy-to-remember way.

Capacity

Assume that the lift takes a maximum weight of 300 kg. So, by applying the boundary value analysis, we can decide on more test cases.

• How much weight can it take to go up?
• How much weight can it take down w.r.t to a specified weight?

In The interview, if the interviewer wants to confuse you, then they may ask you the positive and negative test cases for lift, test cases for the lift in an excel sheet, negative test cases for lift, the test case for lift, test scenarios for lift, lift negative test cases, test cases of lift and test scenarios on the lift.

Usability Test Cases For Lift

A lift has a number pad and a few controls to operate itself.

• Are the controls self-explanatory?
• Are the controls usable by a blind person?
• Are the controls guided by voice messages?

Functionality – Lift Test Cases

• Is the functionality as per specification?
• Is the control functioning as it is supposed?
• What happens when it is overweight? Does it still work?
• What happens if the auto-close functionality is not working?

Comfort Test Cases Of Lift

• Is the control pad comfortable to use?
• Is the experience inside a lift make the person uncomfortable due to gravity pull?
• Is the lift making noise while going up or down?

Height, Weight & Volume Test Scenarios For Lift

The test cases on height, weight, and volume can be made based on the specifications. A few more test cases that can be added to this are as follows:

• How much time does it take to reach every floor?
• How much time does it take from the top of the building to the ground floor?
• How many people can it take regardless of their weight?
• What happens when it takes more people than capacity?
• What happens to the people inside the lift when a power failure happens?
• How can many runs lift make on power backup?
• Does it show the right number on the floor?
• Does the lift get blocked when more than one floor makes a request?

Positive And Negative Test Cases For Lift

• Check which material the first lift is made with. (Is it made of steel or iron.)
• Check what type of door is grill type or door type.
• Check which side of the door button switchboard is there or not.
• Check-In that switchboard, how many buttons are there?
• Check for the appropriate no of buttons.
• Check when I touch the open button if that lift is opening or not
• Check What happens if I touch the open button twice.
• Check What happens when I press the open button while the lift moves in the middle of the two floors.
• Check What happens when I press the open button for some time.
• Check for the sound when the lift is opening.
• After entering the lift, press the up button. In which direction am I moving?
• After entering the lift, press the button. In which direction am I moving?
• When a person is in the lift, is there any light?
• How many persons simultaneously carry the lift in the sense of moving time?
• Check Without load. Is it moving if we press the up button?
• What happens without specifying the floor number if we press the up or down button?
• What happens if the lift is in overload mode (overload sound will come before moving, or it moves).
• Without load, what happens if we press the up button and specify the floor number?
• After entering the lift, do doors automatically close, or do we have to close them?
• When the lift is on the ground floor, we go inside the lift and specify floor number zero(ground floor). Then what is happening?
• After getting into the lift, one person is there. He wants to go up, but we want to go down already. He specified the floor number before we entered the lift. Afterward, we determined our floor number. Then, what happened?
• When we are outside, we want to open the door. But inside, a person wants to close the door while both operate the lift. What will happen?
• Enter the lift, specify the floor, say four, and check for the corresponding floor.
• Check Lift is moving and the power breaks off. Does the alarm blow in the control room during a power break-off?
• Check for the case of how the inside person informs the lift man that he got stuck in the lift (if there is a phone button, does it work). Also, check for the response time to start the lift again.
• When a person is in the lift, is there any light?
• How many persons simultaneously carry the lift in the sense of moving time?
• Without load, is it moving if we press the up button?
• What happens without specifying the floor number if we press the up or down?
• Without load, what happens if we press the up button and specify the floor number?
  Does the door close itself, or does it have to close manually?
• If the door closes automatically, check for the closing time.
• If the door closes automatically, also check for the sensor. Suppose the closing time is 2 min, and it passes, and people are still getting in. What happens? Does the door get closed, or do you wait for the people to get in?
• What happens when you press the same floor number on which the lift already exists?
• After getting into the lift, one person was there. He wanted to go up, but we wanted to go down already; he specified the floor number before we entered the lift. After that, we determined our floor number, so what will be the priority of the lift?
• The lift is empty and is moving downwards. I entered and wanted to go up. Is there a button to change the lift’s direction, and is the button working?
• Is the floor number displayed inside the lift correctly?
• When the outside person wants to open the door, the inside person wants to close the door simultaneously.

Test Scenarios For Lift

• Verify the dimensions
• Verify the type of door is as per the specification
• Verify the type of metal used in the lift interior and exterior
• Verify the capacity  in terms of the total weight
• Verify the buttons in the lift to close and open the door and numbers as per the number of floors.
• Verify that lifts move to the particular floor as the floor button is clicked.
• Verify that lifts stop when up/down buttons on a particular floor are pressed.
• Verify if there is an emergency button to contact officials in case of any mishap.
• Verify the performance of the floor – the time taken to go to a floor
• Verify that it doesn’t free-fall in case of a power failure and gets halted on the particular floor.
• Verify lifts are working if the door button is pressed before reaching the destination floor.
• Verify that in case the door is about to close and an object is placed between the doors, the object again opens or not.
• Verify the time duration for which the door remains open by default.
• Verify if the lift interior has proper air ventilation
• Verify lighting in the lift
• Verify that at no point should the lift door should open while in motion.
• Verify that there should be a backup mechanism to safely get into a floor or backup power supply in case of power loss.
• Verify that in case the multiple floor number button is clicked, it should stop at each floor.
• Verify that if the capacity limit is reached, users are prompted with a warning alert- audio/visual.
• Verify those inside users are prompted with the current floor and direction information the lift is moving towards- audio/visual prompt.

Positive Test Case for Lift

• I want to press the door open button.
• When the door opens, entry into the lift
• Press the number button on which floor you want to go
• Press the close button.
• Check how much weight lift can be bear up.
• If the fan is available on the switch of the fan.
• If the light is available, then switch on the light.
• Observe how long it would take to reach our floor(which number button we press when we enter the lift).
• When we reach our floor, observe whether the door is open.
• Observe when we come out from the lift, door closing operation.

Negative Test Case For Lift

• Press the enter button when we are outside.
• Observe door-opening operations.
• Wait outside for some time when the door is opened.
• When inside, observe door closing operations without pressing the closing button.
• Observe door operations when we middle in the door.
• Check lift is working when the power is off.
• Observe the lift working when the power is low voltage.
• Observe the lift working operations when a heavy load is in the lift.
• Verify door-closing operations when the heavy load is in the lift.
• Check if the power is suddenly off when the lift is working.
• Add one more person than the specified weight and check the response.
• Add many people regardless of weight and check the volume limitations.
• Create smoke or fire inside the lift and check the response.
• Try pressing the open button while the lift is moving.
• Press the stop button before reaching the specific floor.
• Put small obstacles near the sensors that detect auto-close functionality.

Of course, you can develop many more test cases based on the available data. I hope the test cases here have helped you during your interviews or for your personal use. Let me know your suggestions in the comments.
