How to write test cases for user registration process?

Every business provides a registration form to add new members to use their services, whether the form is public or internal. Let’s say you are a software tester or QA professional and your TL assigned you a task to test the registration process. And you are not sure how to create test cases for the registration process.

Then this post will cover the sample test scenarios and test cases for the registration process. So, we have taken an example of a Training payment registration form. You are welcome to choose the alternative registration form, but we would like to point out that the number of fields and the cases for the way will vary.

Required form fields

In training form, we have the following required fields:

• First name
• Last name

• Number of people attending
• Address

The next step of the form is to provide payment info and billing info that we will see how to test the payment form in the upcoming tutorial.
