What are Positive Test Cases?

Positive test cases are tests that verify a system or application’s ability to function correctly under valid or expected input conditions. 

• Examples of positive test cases include verifying proper data output from a form submission, verifying a user can successfully log in to an application, or confirming that a payment transaction is successful. 
• Positive test cases are essential for software quality assurance and help ensure that a system behaves as expected and produces the correct results when given valid input.
• Positive test cases are used to evaluate how a system or application will behave when given valid input, or under ideal conditions. 
• These tests help to ensure that the application behaves as expected and that the user experience is satisfactory. 
• Positive test cases should be written for all features and functions of an application and should include test cases for boundary values and edge cases. 
• Positive test cases are generally written by a QA engineer or tester who has a deep understanding of the application or system being tested. 
• The tester should have a clear understanding of the functionality and desired results, and should be familiar with the application’s source code and design.

A test case is a set of conditions or variables under which a tester will determine whether an application, software system or website meets specifications and performs as expected. A test case can be positive or negative, meaning that it tests for the correct functionality or missing functionality.
