Can you tell me what is negative testing?..

Answer / anuj singhal

Negative testing is an art to check the restrictions of an
application, for example if you have a field of "phone
number" that accepts only numeric letters. So in negative
testing user would not be able to type any alphabet or any
special symbol in that field or it can't be saved as
alphanumeric character.

These are the test that makes the application more
meaningful and accurate.

For more testing of unacceptable entries which results are
meaningless called negative testing.

Answer / jaspreet kaur vohra

Negative testing is done to fail an application. When we used to put wrong/invalid inputs and application accepts that input it means that negative test case is passed. Any input other than valid input is negative testing.
Negative testing is important for application becoz it makes an application accurate.
Positive testing is testing an application by putting valid inputs.
