Button Testing - Key Test Cases to Validate UI Interactions and Functionality

Buttons are fundamental UI elements that require thorough testing to ensure proper functionality, accessibility, and user experience. This guide covers essential test cases for testing various types of buttons in web applications, including visual consistency, placement, text clarity, tooltips, keyboard shortcuts, state management, and protection against duplicate actions.

NrTest Idea
1Check if button design is consistent with the rest of the application (color, size, font, etc.)
2Check if the location is comfortable and logical for the user
3Check if the button text is clear to the user
4Check that all buttons are aligned correctly
5Check if the button should have an informative tooltip
6Check if the button should have a keyboard shortcut
7Check the conditions when the button should be enabled or disabled
8Check if the disabled button is easily distinguishable
9Check if the button should ask for confirmation
10When a button saves data, a successful saving message should be displayed
11Check how the button behaves if clicked multiple times quickly - verify if it's possible to cause any duplicate actions
12If the button is disabled, also check that it is protected from the backend side. After enabling the button from HTML, the button action should still be impossible
