Answer / rupesh chavan
Negative testing is simply testing with invalid data, just
to check applications behavior with unexpected inputs.
for example:
If you have to validate "Age" field, your test data should
be numerals between 0 to 200 (I think I expect more :))
But you attempt to validate this field with alphabets OR
special characters it will become negative test data for
negative testing.

Answer / uday kumar. a
Negative testing is done to show that the product does not
fail when an unexpected input is given. In other words, the
input values may not have been represented in the
specification of the product. But, at the end-user level,
there are multiple scenarios that are encountered and that
need to taken care by the product.
The purpose of the negative testing is to break the system.
A negative test would be a product not delivering an error
when it should or delivering an error when it should not.

Answer / kishore
Negative testing is nothing but testing the functionality
of an application by giving the invalid inputs. the main
intension of the negative testing is we have to test the
application against the specifications.
Ex: If a text box is accepting only positive integers.
invalid inputs:
1. entering negative values.(-1,-4,-8,-6)
2. entering alphabets.(w,v,y,u,)
3. entering special symbols.(@,$,&,!)

Answer / deeps
Nagative testing is nothing but testing the application
with invalid data.
For instance:
- A field is designed to take between 6-32 characters.
- when you enter <6 or >32 characters in that field becomes
invalid input
- when hit enter it should throw you an error message
saying "enter atleast 6 characters" or something like that.

Answer / tre' v. dozier
Negative testing is testing outside the relm of NORMAL
testing. If a requirement for a vaild age value input is
between 5 and 50 a negative test would be <5 or >50
produces a the correct error message along with the correct
handling process. A NORM condition should be created to
verfiy and assure that the ages between 5 and 50 inclusive
produces the correct response and process.
