Software Testing Mind Maps – Testing an E-mail Address field

Often we test an E-mail Address field while testing our application (Windows/Web/Mobile) under test. And it is certainly helpful if we have a set of common Test Cases ready for this.

Before getting into the Test Cases for an e-mail address field, let’s look at the parts or components of an e-mail address.

Here is an example of e-mail address; tester@gmail.com and it consists of below parts –

tester – which is called as Username/Display name/Account name/User Identifier

@ – which is a symbol required to separate the Username and Domain name

gmail – which is called as Domain name

.com – which is called as Domain name extension

Now, let’s consider the below form where we need to test an E-mail Address field.

 

And here I am providing a Mind Map for Testing an E-mail Address field which covers the details of valid and invalid cases that can be tested.
