April 15, 2006 - General Input Tests for Date Fields

Here are some routine tests to try for a date field.
 

Decide which of the following are relevant for your input field and use them.

If you are using an automated test tool, these values can easily be used exhaustively, or randomly, by a test script:

• 0/0/0000
• (yesterday)
• (today)
• (today with all leading zeros, like 01/01/2006) 
• (tomorrow)
• (same day last week)
• (same day next week)
• (same day last month)
• (same day next month)
• (same day last year)
• (same day next year)
• (Jan 1 this year)
• (Dec 31 this year) 
• (Jan 1 last year)
