Value Comparison Testing - Key Test Cases for Accurate and Reliable Data Comparison
Value comparison features play a crucial role in helping users analyze and evaluate data effectively. This guide covers essential test cases for comparison functionality, focusing on formatting consistency, handling of decimals and negative numbers, case sensitivity, whitespace, special characters, and scenarios with missing or partial data. Ensure your application compares values accurately across diverse data types and conditions for reliable user insights.
| Nr | Test Idea | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Check if compared values use the same format. | |
| 2 | Check how decimal places are handled, for example: 123.00 vs 123. | |
| 3 | Check how negative numbers are handled, for example: -123 vs 123. | |
| 4 | Check how country-specific characters are handled, for example: Jaropełk vs Jaropelk. | |
| 5 | Check how comparison works with spaces at the beginning, end, and in the middle. | |
| 6 | Check how comparison works when comparing lowercase to uppercase letters. | |
| 7 | Check how comparison works if one value is a substring of the other—test both directions. | |
| 8 | Check how comparison works if one or both values are missing. | |
| 9 | If compared values are built from multiple fields, check how comparison works when a sub-value is missing. |
