This document contains 50 detailed test cases for validating form functionalities commonly found in web and mobile applications. The test cases cover a broad spectrum of aspects such as field validation, UI/UX behavior, functional correctness, error handling, security, and responsive design. These test cases can be applied to various types of forms, including registration, contact, feedback, and data entry forms.
Each test case includes the test scenario, detailed test steps, sample test data, expected outcome, and priority level to help in planning and execution during different testing phases such as sanity, smoke, regression, and end-to-end testing.
Use these test cases to create a strong foundation for your QA portfolio, test documentation, or automation coverage.
