Boundary and Negative Testing

Data catalogue

  • Strings: empty, whitespace-only, 1 char, max, max+1, 10x max, leading/trailing spaces, emoji/ZWJ, RTL text, combining marks, <b>x</b> and <img src=x onerror=alert(1)> (must render as inert text, never execute), ' OR 1=1 -- (as literal data), ../../etc/passwd in a filename-ish field.
  • Numbers: −1, 0, 1, max, max+1, a decimal where an integer is expected, 1e309, NaN.
  • Dates: leap day, a DST transition, a timezone boundary, past/future limits the domain implies.
  • Files: 0 bytes, just over the size limit, wrong MIME type with a correct-looking extension.
  • Collections: 0 items, 1 item, exactly the page size, page size + 1.
  • Concurrency: double submit, two sessions editing the same record.
  • Dependency down: the stubbed dependency returns 5xx/timeout (test-data-and-stubs), or route "**/api/<dep>/**" --status=500 for a UI-only case.

Flow-level cases

Unauthorized access, missing resources (404 paths), concurrent/duplicate submission, partial failure of a dependency.

Recording

Record every boundary you probed as its own test case on the task, passing ones included — absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, and a boundary nobody can see you tried is one the next reader has to try again. A boundary that cannot exist here (the field is an enum, the endpoint is internal-only) is a case too: record it invalid with that reason.
