Calculation Testing - Key Test Cases to Verify Accuracy in Web Application Logic

Accurate calculations are critical for many web applications. This guide provides test cases for various calculation scenarios, including mathematical operations, currency conversions, unit conversions, and handling of edge cases like division by zero or overflow conditions.

NrTest Idea
1Check if both decimal and integer inputs are possible and if calculations work with both input types
2Check if it is possible to perform calculations with one or more missing variable values and see how the system handles it
3Check if it is possible to create a division by zero calculation and see how the system handles it
4Check all places in the system that create input for calculations to see if they use the correct format
5Check all places in the system that use the result of calculations to see if they can handle possible results correctly
6If users can enter variables for calculations, check if negative values should be allowed or not
