Testdata for everyone

 Being Testers we do lot many validations in day today life.

Listing few field values which can be used for testing.

Validation Testing

Validation testing on a website involves verifying that the inputs provided by users through various forms, textboxes, or interactive elements are correctly validated according to the specified criteria. Here's a general approach for conducting validation testing on a website

Company name

When validating a company name textbox, you'll likely want to account for various types of names that companies might have. Here are different types of company names along with examples:

Standard Company Name: Example: Microsoft Corporation

Acronym or Initialism:Example: IBM (International Business Machines)

Abbreviation:Example: FedEx (Federal Express)

Compound Word:Example: Facebook (Face + Book)

Hyphenated Name:Example: Dunkin' Donuts

Apostrophe in Name:Example: McDonald's

Numeric Characters:Example: 7-Eleven

Hänel (manufacturer of vertical storage systems)

Pöppelmann (plastics manufacturer)

Email Address:

Validating email addresses can be a complex task due to the variety of formats they can take. Here are some different types of email addresses to consider when validating an email ID textbox:

When validating an email ID textbox, you'll typically check for the presence of an "@" symbol, the presence of a top-level domain, and adherence to certain formatting rules. However, it's essential to keep in mind that overly restrictive validation can prevent valid email addresses from being accepted, so it's crucial to strike a balance between strictness and flexibility. Using regular expressions or dedicated email validation libraries can help implement robust email validation logic.

Standard Email Address: 

Example: john.doe@example.com

Email Address with Subdomain:

Example: john.doe@sub.example.com

Email Address with Special Characters:

Example: john_doe123@example.com

Email Address with Numeric Characters:

Example: john123@example.com

Email Address with Top-Level Domain:

Example: john.doe@example.co.uk
