Filter Testing - Key Test Cases for Effective Data Filtering and Search Accuracy
Filters help users find relevant information quickly. This guide provides test cases for filter functionality, including single and multiple filter combinations, clear filters, performance with large datasets, and handling of various data types.
| Nr | Test Idea | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Check if the filter should have default values pre-filled | |
| 2 | Check if correct results are being displayed if filtering with default values after opening the page | |
| 3 | Check if page loading should start default filter automatically or should it be started by the user | |
| 4 | It should be clear to the user if filtering is started automatically or not after page load | |
| 5 | Check if filtering can be started with both enter button and by pressing the button with the mouse | |
| 6 | Check by what parameters it is possible to filter - are there any parameters missing or any redundant parameters | |
| 7 | When combining multiple search parameters then check if they all are used to filter results | |
| 8 | Check if the filter should have reset button to reset to default search parameters | |
| 9 | Check if any search parameters should be mandatory when filtering | |
| 10 | When any search parameter is mandatory for filtering then there should be an error message about it | |
| 11 | Page loading icon should be used when a search is in progress | |
| 12 | It should be possible to cancel search when it is taking too long | |
| 13 | Filter search values should remain after the search is completed | |
| 14 | Check that correct search result number is being displayed to the user | |
| 15 | Check that if opening any result and navigating back then filter results would remain | |
| 16 | If a filter has a lot of fields then check if only some of them should be visible at first and other fields should be visible with advanced filter (expandable filter) | |
| 17 | When a list has exporting functionality then check that only filtered results are exported | |
| 18 | Check that the drop-down search parameter would also have 'All' option, if needed |
