- Hold it, test it!
Where to start? For a beginner, this can be a whole hassle. Especially when there is no detailed TK. So I decided to create this collection where you can look for inspiration! ツ
Where to get ideas
Articles
They are usually called "equivalence classes for ..." or "checklist for ..." or "cheatlist for ..." or something like that. Here are my selections:
Text
Testing the text field
Testing the login / password
fields Testing the input fields
Number
Equivalence classes for a string that denotes a number
Date
Equivalence classes for a string that denotes a date
Files
It's not over yet!
Mobile applications
Checklist for testing mobile applications
The rest
Equivalence classes for the standard grid - that is, for the header of the report, which can be sorted by
This is not the end! - in this article Michael Hunter talks about different input methods, files, network connection, error messages, accessibility, menus ...
Julia → Iuliia. Transliteration schemes - if your system transliterates something, it will be useful.
Cheat sheets in Strainer
The Strainer system has cheat lists, these are just templates for reuse (you can read more here ).
To see them, you need:
- Sign in;
- go to the section "Checklists";
- select the tab "Cheat sheets".
Well, that's it, then choose the one you need.
Student work
I collect good works of students of my school for beginners in open access confluence (link available without authorization). These works help other students:
- new ideas for testing;
- design examples;
I advise you to take ideas for tests in the sections:
Plugins for autocomplete fields
For example, the same Bug Mugnet . Install the plugin, put the cursor on any input field, and get inspired. For example, here is a selection for valid email addresses:

Exploration tours
Tours from James A. Whittaker's book are when you choose one tour, time it, and complete the tour objectives. The trick is that each round tells in detail what exactly you need to do.
They help find bugs. But thoughts for testing are also thrown up. In which direction to think, what to check - you can find inspiration there!
