Test Case For Tabs

Test Case For Tabs: In this post, you’ll find test cases for tabs. For those who are not aware of the tabs control, you can go to the jquery UI homepage and check the demos. You can find how the tabs work and how they arrange the data. 

For the sake of simplicity, take a look at the image below for the ideas on test cases. This image shows you three clickable tabs. The content is not dynamic. However, the content hides from unselected tabs. So selected tabs content is shown there. You can take a look at the jQuery tab demo to see how the functionality works. More test cases can be formed if you get hands-on the dynamic content within the tabs.

If you wish to test the tabs on window-based programs, then I suggest taking a look at the tabs within an application like Notepad++. You can also read the test cases to find and replace the dialog box if you wish to test the tabs for window-based applications. This way, you can check the difference between the web app-based tabs and windows based tabs.

Final Words
