Notification & Message Testing - Comprehensive Test Cases for System Feedback and Alerts
System notifications and in-app messages are crucial for user guidance and error handling. This test case guide covers how to verify message visibility, type (info, error, success), styling consistency, dynamic content accuracy, accessibility, and behavior during user interactions. Ensure your messages are always timely, clear, and user-friendly across all scenarios.
| Nr | Test Idea | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Check that focus moves to the message when it appears | |
| 2 | Check if the message design matches the rest of the system: font, color, text size, position, and wording | |
| 3 | Check if the message type is correct: info, error, or success | |
| 4 | Check if the message is easy to read, clear, and helpful for the user | |
| 5 | If the message is about a field on the page, ensure the correct field label is used in the message | |
| 6 | Check that it is possible to copy the message text | |
| 7 | Check that all conditions for displaying the message are correctly implemented | |
| 8 | Check that the error/validation message disappears after correcting the mistake | |
| 9 | Check that the message disappears when navigating to another page in the system | |
| 10 | Check that in modal dialogs, the message appears inside the modal, not in the background | |
| 11 | If there are any dynamic variables in the message, check that they display the correct values. Also check how the message behaves when a variable's value is missing | |
| 12 | Check how the webpage behaves when multiple messages are displayed | |
| 13 | Check how the webpage behaves when the action that triggers the message is repeated — ensure duplicate messages are not created |
