Functional Test Checklist

Basic questions

• What is the "normal" flow for the pages?
• What error conditions can arise in the normal flow? What alerts should appear in error conditions?
• What "abnormal" actions could the user take on the pages? What behaviour should be seen in these situations?
• What test data setup is needed to test the pages?
• What UI elements does the user interact with on the pages?

Functional testing tasks

• Write test scripts for all "normal", error and "abnormal" interaction patterns.
• Mark up wireframes with test instrumentation (UI element IDs to act as test script affordances).
• Make functional testing issue for development team:
  • Add test affordances to page markup.
  • Page object abstractions for all involved pages (page load, element accessors, high-level actions).
  • Implement test scripts.
