When testing the registration form of a web application, it’s essential to ensure that it functions correctly, handles various scenarios, and provides a good user experience. Here are some test cases to validate a registration form:

1. Valid Registration:

• Enter valid and complete information (e.g., username, email, password, confirm password).
• Verify that the user is successfully registered.
• Check that a confirmation email is sent (if applicable).
• Confirm that the user can log in with the registered credentials.

2. Blank Fields:

• Leave all fields blank and attempt to register.
• Verify that appropriate error messages are displayed for each required field.
• Ensure the form does not submit.

3. Invalid Email Address:

• Enter an invalid email address (e.g., without “@” or with special characters not allowed).
• Verify that an error message is displayed for the email field.
• Ensure the form does not submit.

4. Password Complexity:

• Enter a password that does not meet the complexity requirements (e.g., too short).
• Verify that an error message is displayed for the password field.
• Ensure the form does not submit.

5. Mismatched Passwords:

• Enter a password and confirm password that do not match.
• Verify that an error message is displayed for the confirm password field.

7. Terms and Conditions:

• Check if the registration form has a “Terms and Conditions” checkbox.
• Attempt to register without accepting the terms.

10. Data Validation: – Enter special characters or invalid data in name, address, or other fields. – Verify that the form rejects invalid characters and provides appropriate error messages.

12. Cross-Browser Testing: – Test the registration form on various web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) to ensure compatibility.

13. Mobile Responsiveness: – Test the registration form on different mobile devices (smartphones, tablets) to ensure it is responsive and user-friendly.
