Ask HN: How to test Email Clients?
Hello all,
I want to test email clients in my project. I could come up with test cases like:
1. Send mail in outlook, delete mail in mobile app, check in outlook it shouldn't be there etc.
2. The supported attachments
3. Check sender has message limits.
and go on.
These are simple test cases that I could come up with, but what are other test cases that I "must" test while testing email clients? That can be in :
1. Security
2. Usability
domain.
Any ideas will be really helpful.
- a3n 11y agoOne sane way to test anything is based on requirements, which you probably don't have, unless you want to extract them from RFC's. Here's a number of tables of standards, UI's and features of email clients: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_email_clients https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_email_clients You could study those tables, think about it for awhile, and come up with a subset of derived requirements, and test against that.
