UserStory to TestCases

Ministry of Testing

Case Study:

Can anyone point me to an 'ideal' or most comprehensive User Story for a simple Login Screen you have encountered, please? Any screenshots or links or doc files are welcome after removing the confidential info. Trying to help someone with 'how to have a complete flow from user story to test cases'. I have things in mind but a real example would be a quick help.

Recommendation 1:

So basically a User Story is in the format: As a user, I should be able to login into the system so that I can access the dashboard. Now, there are things that help to define the user story and helps to identify the Definition of Done while developing a particular functionality. Hence, the acceptance criteria for the above user Story might be: Acceptance Criteria:

1. Login Form should be present with Email and Password Fields

a. Valid email should be entered b. Valid password should be entered "You can add your validation criteria too"

1. Login Button should be present in the form.

2. provide the link to the design of the Login Form so that developer can design the form based on the mockup.

Now, talking about the Test cases, your tests cases are written against the acceptance criteria which are requirements for that functionality.Add Positive, Negative and Edge cases in your test cases. Some Test Scenarios would be:

1. Verify user with a valid email and valid password can login

2. Verify user with invalid email and invalid password cannot login

3. Verify user with a valid email and invalid password cannot login and vice versa

4. Verify that validation message is displayed clicking on Login button with empty email and password fields

Make sure you follow a proper test case format. In this way, you can continue.
