Test Case For Password Reset: Password reset test cases were asked in the interview for candidates with one year of experience. This question was sent to me on my Twitter, so I decided to write a post about it. I will list some of the typical test scenarios you can use to test the password reset page.
Considering the question is perfect to go with the login page test cases, you may want to pick a mail system to make your test cases specific and unique. In this post, I am using the Outlook mail service for writing the test case. There is a high chance that the system will change shortly on password-changing methods.

Here are some of the test case scenarios for a password reset for the outlook mail platform. As you can see, I have attached the images for each test scenario. The tests mentioned here are limited, and you can add them and expand depending on your choice.
Password Reset Test Case Scenario

- Check if the “can’t access your account” link redirects to the correct page.
- Check if the redirected page has the necessary option for a password reset.
- Check if the page asks to choose between three options for a password reset.
