Weird ! bug

The application which am testing has the login screen. And it do comprise a option to configure my password settings. Here are the directions for the configuration.

1. Minimum length for Password: None,4,5,6,7 characters.
2. Maximum length for Password: 6 to 20 characters.
3. Password must contain: Characters, Characters/Numbers, Characters/Numbers/Special Characters and Characters/Special Characters

The one scenario where the system crashed is with the following case.

1. Minimum length for Password: None
2. Maximum length for Password: 20
3. Password must contain: Characters.

And my password is : “ssssssssssssssssssss”

Now I attempt to login with the new password, strange! the system is allowing me to login with single “S” .
It should thrown a error message as “Invalid Password”. FAILED to do so.

If I set my password as: "atatatatatatatatatatatat", it is not allowing me to login with single “at”.
If I give a single character 20 times, I can login with a single character. But if I give a phrase or word for 10 times, am unable to login with single word.


I will furnish the detailed bug report in my next post.

Thanks for your moment and endurance. Please let me know your implications with your valuable comments.

Happy Testing.

Functionality Bug

As standard, after fixing the bug which I have raised earlier, my developer poses me to test the application once.
Oh am sorry, lemme write my previous bug for you.
In the application which I was testing, we have a option called “Record Actions”, it is just like “Mark as Read”, “Mark as Unread” in Gmail. To do these actions we need to select the mails and have to select this action. Rt?


But the “Record Action” is applying for only one record. I raised this bug and after fixing this by the developer, asked me to test it.
Lemme be specific and clear.
1. I have 20 mails in Inbox and 10 mails in Spam.
2. Selected 10 mails in Spam and clicked on delete icon.
3. Getting the warning message as “Please select only one record to do this action”.
After testing, I got this bug which is most severe bug than earlier. This broke entire functionality.
Selected only one record and clicked on delete icon. It is displaying the warning message as “Please select only one record”.
*If I clicked on select all and I have only one record.

Please check the screenshot.

My real experience of Compatability and Accessebilty Testing

When we try to open or save the attached file, it opens a pop up and gives the information bar to download the file.

But one of my client has these issues with it:

1. Information bar is not coming to download a file.
2. When he is trying to open the attached Excel document, it is not opening and showing in Acrobat reader that the file is not in valid format.

After investigating a lot I brought out the Internet Explorer Information bar to his IE pop up.

After searching the net and after goggling a lot, I got these steps to follow…..
When Internet Explorer Information bar will come and when it will not?

1. If a website tries to install an ActiveX control on your computer or run an ActiveX control in an unsafe manner.
2. If a website tries to open a pop-up window.
3. If a website tries to download a file to your computer.
4. If a website tries to run active content on your computer.
5. If your security settings are below recommended levels.
6. If you access an intranet webpage, but have not turned on intranet address checking. For more information, see Changing intranet security settings.
7. If you started Internet Explorer with add-ons disabled.
8. If you need to install an updated ActiveX control or add-on program.
9. The webpage address can be displayed with native language letters or symbols but you don't have the language installed.

Steps in Investigation:
1. Checked the IE security settings.
2. Checked the IE custom settings.
3. Checked the IE settings 1,2,3,…….100,110, 500, ….. .............................

Finally I got a solution, in his IE settings the security is selected as “Trusted Sites”, where our product IP is added. That is why it is not showing the Internet Explorer Information bar while downloading a file. Changed the options, working fine now.

Lemme investigate for the Acrobat reader and give you the detailed report.
Really frndz this scenario, made me to think somewhat in different ways.

After a complete testing(we think like that), and after rolling out the product to client, we have got these issues. This client has 25 users who use our product and they are using it from a year.

None of them got these issues but a single user has got this. So guys never think that testing stops at one place.

I welcome your suggestions or steps in investigating the second point which is mentioned on top.



Happy Testing
