Login Attempts Test Cases

Test Case For Login Attempts | Login Attempts Test Cases

In this article, we are going to discuss negative and positive scenarios to test the Login page. Testing of the Login page is essential in terms of security and functional aspect. Though we make sure to cover most scenarios, often some basic scenarios are missed out, which can lead to bad user experience.

So, we came up with the list of scenarios to Test Login Page and gradually we will be adding more such checks to this list.

What is the possible test case for login attempts?

• Log in with the valid credentials i.e. correct username and password
• Login with a valid username and invalid password
• Login with invalid username and valid password
• Log in with the valid username in caps and valid password
• Login with invalid credentials, to determine when the account is getting locked, in the sense how many attempts with incorrect credentials are allowed
• Login without entering the credentials, by just clicking on the login button to check the validation messages
• Log in with the valid username and password, observe the URL, make sure the data is not shown in the URL, as it can be preserved and modified later.
• I’m not covering the forgot password link scenarios here, this is only for 2 textboxes assuming username and password, and a login button.

I will add more if something comes up to me. I hope this helps.

Few test cases related to login attempt, considering the login form contains the only username, password, and a submit button:

• Login by just clicking on submit button, i.e. without entering the credentials
• Login with correct credentials, i.e. username and password
• Login with incorrect username and correct password
• Login with correct username and incorrect password
• Log in with the username in uppercase and correct password
• Login with the correct username in lowercase and correct password
• Login with the correct username in lowercase and incorrect password
• Login with incorrect username and uppercase password
• Login with correct username and correct password in lowercase

The above test cases are to follow on UI and for API, let’s say we have two fields, namely:

{
   "username":"abcd@gmail.com",
   "password":"Test@1234"
}

Few test cases will be:

• Username contains domain ‘.com’
• Username is not blank
• The password is not blank
• Password is correct
