Checklist Testing – Basic Guide
What is Checklist Testing?
Checklist testing means performing tests using a predefined list of conditions or items to verify. It is less formal than test cases but still structured. The checklist helps ensure that important features, actions, or rules are not forgotten during testing.
How to Prepare?
Use an existing checklist provided by your team or test lead, or build one based on product requirements, risks, or previous defects. Each item should describe what to check, not how. For example: “Check login with invalid password” or “Verify footer links work”.
How to Execute?
Go through each item in the checklist step-by-step. Perform the action or check, and mark it as Passed, Failed, or Not Applicable (N/A). Add comments or screenshots if needed. Stay focused and consistent. If you find unexpected behavior — report it even if it’s not in the list.
When to Use Checklist Testing?
- When testing repetitive or high-risk areas
- When test cases are too detailed or unavailable
- For quick validation during limited time windows
- For acceptance or final review testing
Examples:
- Checking that all key buttons are visible and clickable on every page.
- Verifying required fields are enforced on a registration form.
