Tooltip Testing - Key Test Cases for Effective and Accessible Info Display
Tooltips enhance user experience by providing helpful information without cluttering the interface. This guide offers essential test cases to verify tooltip triggers, clear content, proper positioning, visibility over other elements, and responsive behavior near screen edges. Ensure your tooltips are user-friendly, accessible, and visually unobtrusive across all scenarios.
| Nr | Test Idea | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Check how easy it is to open and close the tooltip | |
| 2 | Check if the tooltip content is clear and helpful for the user | |
| 3 | Check that other web elements do not block the tooltip – it should be displayed above them | |
| 4 | Check if the tooltip location is comfortable and not obstructing any important content | |
| 5 | Determine whether there is a need for an additional hint that a tooltip is available (e.g., an 'i' icon) | |
| 6 | Check how the tooltip behaves when it does not fit within the screen (e.g., when it opens near the edge of the webpage) |
