Web Page Text Field Test Cases

Test Case For Text Field Test Case

In this post, we’ll discuss test cases for the text field. Every web or desktop application has the text input for its functionality. To test effectively, we need to understand the purpose of the text field and the input being processed.

For this post, we are going to discuss the different types of text-fields, use cases, and tools to test the text_field. After that, we’ll check some of the sample test cases for the text_field. Feel free to comment on any missing test case or test scenario.

Types of Text Field

Depending on the text field requirement in the form, the input needs to be processed accordingly.

• The name field needs only to accept the alphabet values.
• The name field should not accept numeric content.
• The name field should not accept the symbols.
• Card Number is a numeric field, and then it should only accept numbers.
• Card Number field should not accept characters and symbols in the input field.
• Forms with Credit Card number field only accept the specific numbers.
• The card number field should not accept the input more than the field needs.
• Credit and Debit card number field detects the card type based on the number.
• The card number field should also detect the debit or credit card type.

• Zip Code field should accept only the alphanumeric input from the users.
• The address field should allow characters, numeric, and symbol input.
• The address field could be a single or multi-line input box.
• The address may or may not be a mandatory field.

If the text box is not specified for the input, in such a case, it can accept numeric, text, or symbols as it’s input. The test in such a case has to be based on the type of data that needs to be processed. For example, the Search engine accepts this type of input. However, to process such content, the search engine has an input processing system. The tests have to be made with respect to the content processing specifications.

Text Fields Test Cases

Where exactly do we use the text fields? The most common places where we use the text fields are the forms. The webform could be a login form, contact form, registration form, or any other data entry form. In the case of document-based forms, you may find such fields inside the PDF Forms.

Mobile apps also have the forms embedded inside them. In the case of apps, you may notice the fields like username, password, phone number, contact address, and name. Mobile apps also have a custom text input for social status if used for social media. The SMS app or the messaging app also has the text field with a specific limit.

In case if you are testing desktop applications, you’ll find the text field in apps like Word, Notepad, Skype, Gtalk, and few other apps. Each desktop app has multiple or single text field within itself.

Tools to Test Text Field

There are different types of tools that can be used to test the text fields. Depending on what you’re testing, web app, or desktop app, you have to choose the tool accordingly.

Test Data

You can use the text generator tools like – Dummy text generator and Blind text generator. Most of the web designers also use lorem ipsum text generator as placeholder text. Such a dummy text generator is good for test data.

Bug Magnet Chrome Add-on

This add-on is good for exploratory testing. It can be used to figure out the error handling, boundary-related errors, and security issues of your web-app. If your form has a bunch of text fields, then you should choose this add-on to test.

Browser Developer Tools

Chrome, Firefox, and Opera have developer tools options installed by default. You can use the default developer tools to test the forms and other elements on the page. You can also check the fields for the different types of test data.
