Email inbox testing

Here's an example of an email inbox testing scenario:

Scenario: You want to test the functionality of an email inbox system, including sending and receiving emails, filtering, and deleting emails.

Test Cases:

1. Sending an email:
   • Send an email from a test account to the email inbox being tested.
   • Verify that the email is received in the inbox.
   • Check that the email is correctly formatted and contains the expected content.
2. Receiving an email:
   • Verify that the email inbox is able to receive emails from multiple senders.
   • Check that the inbox is able to handle a large volume of emails.
   • Verify that the inbox is able to filter out spam emails.
3. Filtering emails:
   • Create a filter rule to move emails from a specific sender to a specific folder.
   • Send an email from the specified sender to the inbox.
   • Verify that the email is moved to the specified folder.
   • Check that the filter rule is applied correctly for multiple emails from the same sender.
4. Deleting emails:
   • Select an email in the inbox and delete it.
   • Verify that the email is removed from the inbox.
   • Check that the email is not recoverable.
   • Verify that the inbox is updated correctly to reflect the deleted email.
5. Email threading:
   • Send a series of emails from the same sender, each with a different subject line.
   • Verify that the emails are threaded together in the inbox.
   • Check that the threading is correct, including the parent-child relationship between emails.
6. Email attachments:
   • Send an email with an attachment to the inbox.
   • Verify that the attachment is received correctly.
   • Check that the attachment is viewable and can be downloaded.
7. Email formatting:
   • Send an email with a variety of formatting options (e.g. bold, italic, font size).
   • Verify that the formatting is preserved in the inbox.
   • Check that the formatting is consistent across different email clients.
8. Email search:
   • Search for an email in the inbox using a specific keyword.
   • Verify that the email is found in the search results.
   • Check that the search results are accurate and relevant.
9. Email labels:
   • Apply a label to an email in the inbox.
   • Verify that the label is correctly applied.
   • Check that the label is visible in the email list and can be edited.
10. Email notifications:
    • Set up email notifications for new emails in the inbox.
    • Verify that notifications are sent correctly.
    • Check that notifications are customizable and can be turned off.

Test Data:

• Test accounts with different email addresses and credentials.
• Sample emails with different subject lines, bodies, and attachments.
• Filter rules with different conditions and actions.
• Email labels with different names and colors.

Test Environment:

• A test email inbox system with a web interface and API.
• A test email client (e.g. Gmail, Outlook) to send and receive emails.
• A test environment with a stable internet connection and no network issues.

Test Tools:

• A testing framework (e.g. Selenium, Cypress) to automate the testing process.
• A code editor or IDE to write and debug test code.
• A browser or email client to manually test the email inbox system.

Test Schedule:

• Test the email inbox system on a regular schedule (e.g. daily, weekly) to ensure that it is functioning correctly and to identify any issues.
• Test the email inbox system after making changes to the system or its configuration.
• Test the email inbox system during peak usage periods to ensure that it can handle a large volume of emails.
