Suhail Ahmed ,
Ok, let's start with the Name field.
What would you imagine would be good tests for that?

Tarun Lalwani, I'm not sure why do you need to check so many combinations? If you can write all 30 characters you definitely can write less.
P.S. Somehow I think that we are talking about paper registration form

I think I would test with the following data:
1. <Blank>
2. Length 1
3. Length 30
4. Length 31
5. Test with Integers (+ve & -ve)
6. Test with special characters like <>. @, #, ^,etc etc...
7. If the input of this field would be rendered as html and displayed in some other page then would go for XSS injection.
8. Definitly try SQL Injection.
If I am leaving out on any please do notify...

Suhail Ahmed ,
TRY TO SAVE
<SPACE> CHAR...
1.Verify that it automatically trim starting char.
2.With max limit of 30 char, see all the pages where name is used, some time this change the page layout.
Regards

for the date column
check for 01/01/2007
check for 15/01/2007
check for 31/01/2007
check for 01/06/2007
like this [ i m using Boundary value analysis technique]
and also check for leap year validation like verify proper error message is displayed when we enter 29/02/2007

If you were asked to write test cases for a "Registration Form", and one of the fields was described as:
Date : DD-MM-YYYY
what questions would you ask the owner of the requirements?
Before I started specifying test cases, some of the things I'd want to know are:
- what does this "Date" represent?
- is it supposed to be today's date?
- is it supposed to be a birth date?
- are dates in the past permitted?
- what would be a valid range of dates?
- is this a required field?
- where does the value from this field go once the transaction is "committed"?
etc, etc
Can you think of any more questions you would ask to clarify the requirements for this field?

Good point!
The post doesn't actually indicate that this is a software problem.
(It's always good to seek clarification of requirements)

Thanks joe for your suggestion definitely before writing the test case we must ask this question
and joe is this a right question to ask
- Are we using any date control button for entering the date

I'd want to know if the dashes are required or not. If I don't enter them do I receive an error message or will they automatically be put in for me?
Same goes for year -- I believe we are far enough away from Y2K to think people are back to entering two digit years. Is four required (again message - or auto populate to a four digit year)?

Good!
That seems like a reasonable question to help guide the selection of some of the test cases.

Good ones!
If the interviewee asked these very reasonable questions, I'd be pleased.
