Test Case For Search Functionality

Test Cases For Search Functionality Or Search Test Cases: Login pages and search functionality are the two most important functionalities for most websites and web apps. While developers and QA engineers test the most complex scenarios, often some basic test scenarios are missed out, which can seriously hamper the user experience for the visitors.
