write the test cases for date month and year field by using 
testing techniques

we can write test case in a format like  dd/mm/year

ex-04/04/2006

or u can try in this manner

ex-april/fourth/2007

or

  04/04/06

we can write test cases for date month and year as
1    date/month/year
2    date-month-year
examples :
      07/12/2007
      09-12-2006
      date should be 2 characters,year should be 2
characters ,and year should be 4 characters these r the
possible test conditions

Requirement : Only numbers are accepted in this forma.

1.It should be in the dd/mm/yyyy format or mm/dd/yyyy 
format.
2.It shoudl not accept any special characters other than -
   & /.
3.Date fields should not accept any alphabets,special 
characters,space,decimals or their combination.
4.Same applied for month field and year field.
5."32" should not be accepted in Date field.
6."13" should not be accepted in Month field.
7.In case of Leap year February should show 29 days.
8.Date & month should accept only two characters.
9.Year should accept only four characters.

yeah what they mentioned above is correct and another one is
it shouldn't accept the future date.

good Rituparana, Yes have considered all the combinations 
for this example

I also aggreed with pran i.e. what if the date is 
23-06-9999 is it possible? in case if we use the format
as dd-mm-yyyy

thanks friends

few more test cases are also possible:
1. No field should be blank or zero value
2. Maximum value of date field can be 28 or 29 (for feb 
depending on leap year) and 30 or 31 (for all other months 
depending upon month number)

I agree with Rituparna.
Along with that before checking the dates, first you have 
to check year. It should be 4 digits and it should not 
exceed 9999.
After that you should check the month which should accept 
Jan or 01 to Dec or 12. It should not accept 00 or 13.

Basing on the month the no.of days will vary. So check the 
month and accept the no.of days(i.e 30 or 31) in the days 
field. 
If it is Feb, then we have to concentrate first on year and 
then on no.of days.

In addition to the above, if date of birth is considerd as 
date filed, then one should not be in a position to enter 
date less than 100 years as the life span of man does not 
cross 100 years in this generation.

I don't agree with Sharmila bcz what she mentioned is that
should not be in position to enter date (LESS) I think it
should be greater. Thought its wrong, for Ex the DOB field
for the Election ID card and there are so many people who
are above 100 years of age. We should be stick to the
Requirement document and the type of the application we are
testing.

Hi Sharmila

what u said is the test case for how many years a human 
being can live?



if date of birth is considerd as 
date filed, then one should not be in a position to enter 
date less than 100 years as the life span of man does not 
cross 100 years in this generation.

But According to the above test case, it indicates Th e 
minimum age of human being is 100 years.
