Answer / puneet

It is actually both if you read the question carefully,

majority will say that is a functionality testing, but it
is also security testing to see if without any username of
password can some one get to the next screen or not.

Intelligent questoin and the answer is both.

Answer / kishore

Answer: functionality testing
Here, we are performing functionality testing of login. We
see how login performs with blank input condition.
It will be security testing, if we breach security on wrong
username and passsword. SQL injection is one of the method
to breach security.

expect answers from fellow testers.

Answer / jeevan

functional testing

Answer / shravan

Your question is really good and I am sure most of them
would eager to know what is the real testing going through it.

First of all we would check out for the functionality
testing as we have to test whether the "ok" button
(behaviour) is working accordingly when the both the text
boxes are blank and apart from it we would come across
different test scenario's like keeping one text box blank
and the other duly filled or wise versa or we me have other
cases like only using alphabets/ chars/ numeric..etc..so
this was the first thing we would approach..

second approach is every thing in the functionality is fine
then we will go for the security testing by giving wrong pwd
and other user names..etc as per the requirement demands,
firewalls etc would also be considered.

Answer / shobana

security testing

Answer / pragna

functional testing, negative
though the username and, password are for security
the security testing here would be whether the password is
being encrypted or not? masked or not? etc.,
so this is of both Funt.... and security

Answer / ranjith

This comes under functional testing as well as security
testing.
In functional testing we do negative testing by giving
negative values(the values that text field must not accept).
In negative tesing we go for checking whether an invalid
user is agle to ligin into the application by giving
invalid data.

Answer / rasool

Actually it is both, why because if we entered a wrong
password and it is entered in to the site or application
then it is a security violation, and if we given a right
password and then the ok button is not working then it is
functional testing, this tricky question answer is both
functional testing and security testing.

user name password is blank.we will check data base whats
storing in data base.and also check the sql injection.as
per my friends given reply is best..thanks Mr kishor.
