Test Design

As for any searching-related automated tests, the first thought for QA engineers is test data preparation. For example, WhenWise live search supports several modes:

• By first name, e.g. “James” for full name “James Bond”

• By last name, e.g. “Bond”

• By initials, e.g. “J B”

Also, we need to consider “No matches”, “Single result”, and “Multiple results”. In summary, you need to consider the above before writing automated test scripts.

A quick recap of the two common ways to prepare test data in automated test scripts:

• Using seeded data

• Enter new test data for this test script

Because the WhenWise test server has a built-in data reset utility, the first approach is a lot easier.
