Before testing, always read the products spec or owner’s manual. This will give a tester an understanding of the intended functionality and limitations.
If product has an owner’s manual, one can also test the owner’s manual itself.
Examples:
az Q: How would you test a juicer (or any household appliances).
A:
Areas to test:
• Hardware
• Assembly (pitcher, blade, washers, locking ring)
• Controls
• Motor (cord)
• Functionality
• Safety (UL approved, child safe)
• Manuals (clear concise accurate)
Expected behavior Scenarios
• Blend liquids.
• Crush ice.
Boundary cases and why
Find limits and or failure conditions
• Water
• Peanut butter (something very viscous)
• Ice
• Wooden spoon
• Baseball
• Marbles
• Nails (will they test beyond the reasonable limits)
• How long will it run continuously?
Unusual user scenarios
• Flour
• Hamster
• Dirt
Expected Failure Points
• Power cord
• Controls
• Washers
• User error
• External influence ( wrong power voltage,
International
• Power supply
• Control decals (understandable, non offensive)
• Varying safety regulation.
