Test Overview

This test explores a simple login page without a fixed script. It tries different inputs and checks if the login button behaves correctly, verifying the system handles inputs as expected.

Test Code - Selenium with unittest

Execution Trace - 7 Steps

Step	Action	System State	Assertion	Result
1	Test starts and opens Chrome browser	Browser opened at https://example.com/login showing login form with username, password fields and disabled login button	—	PASS
2	Waits for username field to be present and finds password and login button elements	All elements are visible and interactable	—	PASS
3	Checks that login button is initially disabled	Login button is disabled	Assert login_button.is_enabled() is False	PASS
4	Enters 'testuser' in username field	Username field contains 'testuser', password empty, login button still disabled	Assert login_button.is_enabled() is False	PASS
5	Enters 'password123' in password field	Username and password fields filled, login button enabled	Assert login_button.is_enabled() is True	PASS
6	Clears username field	Username empty, password filled, login button disabled	Assert login_button.is_enabled() is False	PASS
7	Test ends and browser closes	Browser closed	—	PASS

Failure Scenario

Failing Condition: Login button remains enabled even when username or password fields are empty

Execution Trace Quiz - 3 Questions

Test your understanding

What does the test check after entering only the username?

ALogin button remains disabled

BLogin button becomes enabled

CPassword field is cleared

DPage reloads

Key Result

Exploratory testing involves trying different inputs and observing system behavior without a fixed script, helping find unexpected issues.
