Lift Test Cases Template Example in Step by Step In Excel Sheet

Capacity

Assum lift takes max. 300KG weight. 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 specified weight?

Usability

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

• Are the controls guided by voice messages?

Functionality

• 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

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

Height, Weight & Volume

The test cases on height, weight, and volume can be made based on the specifications. Few more test cases that can be added into 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 the 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 gets blocked when more than 1 floor makes a request?

Negative Test Cases for Lift

• Add one more person than the specified weight and check the response.
• Add a number of 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.

Other Different Test Case:

• 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 moves to the particular floor as the button of the floor is clicked
• Verify that lifts stop when up/down buttons at 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 is taken to go to a floor
• Verify that in case of power failure, it doesn’t free-fall and get halted on the particular floor
