Search from a list – Reusable Test Cases

Searching data is an essential feature and is majorly used functionality in all the applications these days . We can see various examples of applications like Google maps – for searching places, Zomato – for searching dishes or places, Ola – for reaching correct destination, Play-store/App-store – for searching applications.

People are so much dependent on this feature that it has to go right without fetching wrong results but the accurate results only.

So here are some reusable test cases that can be used for searching from a list

Sno.	Scenario	Expected Result
6	User clears the search field after typing any character	The filter should get reset
7	Ordering of the list after user types any character and searches	It should be sorted in the order as they were before searching
8	User searches data offline	Offline search should be enabled as per the requirements of the application
9	User types junk characters in the search field or if some such keyword is entered that makes emotions like 🙂 and many other	Junk characters should be handled by the application. message to be shown as ‘No Data found’
10	If user searches with blank field	No change should occur on the screen
11	Verify response time of search	The search results should be quick
12	User did successful search and list view is shown	List view should be shown with correct Section indexer (Refer to Image 6)
