Payment Gateway Test Cases: Payment gateway testing is quite common for testers who work in the startup or the service industry. I have decided to write this post for those who have asked for the test cases for the payment gateway in this post.

The current images of the payment gateway options shown below are from CCavenue’s payment gateway used on one of India’s leading phone recharge websites. The options offered in the payment gateway are Debit cards, Credit cards, net banking, ATM cards, and EzeCard(American Express).

We will follow the modular approach to test the payment gateway options. So for manual testing, let’s start with writing test cases for each payment option. First, let’s check out the payment gateway options screenshot. This screenshot you can use this to write down initial test cases.

As you can see, you’re presented with multiple options for payment. So the test cases for this part of the payment gateway test cases are as follows.

Check if each of the payment options is selectable.
Check if each listed payment option opens the respective payment option as per specification.

How to Test Payment Gateway Functionality?

Test payment gateway functionality is the same as testing any other functionality. It would be best if you had some test strategy while testing it. The following are some points kept in mind during the testing of the payment gateway:

Gather appropriate test data for the dummy credit card numbers for various master cards.
Gather payment gateway information, like whether you used PayPal, guest pay, etc.
Gather payment gateway documents with error codes – useful if any error came during testing to identify whether it’s our application fault or payment gateway-related error.
Check if the gateway does what it is supposed to do. Does it handle order objects correctly? Does it perform additional calculations correctly?
Understanding the integration of the payment gateway with the application
Understand and test the parameters and sessions passed through the payment gateway and application
Understand and test the amount of related information passed through query strings, sessions, or variables.
Check the format of the amount with the currency format
Check the language of the application and payment gateway language
Try to change the payment gateway language during the payment process
Test after successful payment whether all the necessary data retrieved to our application or not
Check what happens if the payment gateway goes down during the payment process
Check what happens if the payment process went successful but do not return to our application
Check what happens if the session goes time out during the payment process
Check what happens in the backend during the payment process. Is the session data stored in a temporary table, or is any ID generated?
Check what happens if the payment process fails.
Check if any modification transaction is going on through the payment gateway, how much is taken out as a modified amount, and whether you are required to pay more. For example, if the modified amount is greater than the paid amount, then only the application redirects to the payment gateway; otherwise, it should not.
Check DB entries for the transaction to see whether they store credit card details.
Check DB entries for the amount-related fields in the database for fresh, modified, and canceled transactions.
Check the error page during the payment gateway process
Check security passes for the transaction
Sometimes payment gateway sends confirmation through popup dialogs – so test popup blocker-related settings. What happens is the popup blocker is on and all this.
Check buffer pages between the application and payment gateway (firefox firebug add-on will be helpful to test)

Payment Gateway Test Case For Online Payment

Now there is a need to test these facilities for payment, and any user can test their online payment functionality through Online Payment Test Scenarios.

Conclusion:

These are some of the test cases that should be included in your test design. You can add validation for the text fields. You can also go for the validation for the automatic options detection.

I can add even more to the above options, like checking each bank option and seeing if the gateway transfers the user to the respective website. Again for sandbox usage and with manual testing, this will take a lot of time. But these are pretty much simple enough test cases for the payment gateway.

Please let me know if you have any other suggestions or feedback. I’d appreciate your comments on the test cases.
