In this article we will cover positive and negative Test Cases for Fan. As we covered in the previous article, if the interviewer requests that you write the test cases, do not assume the requirements yourself.
It would be preferable if you asked cross-questions regarding the requirement, which would assist you in understanding or clarifying the missing requirements.
In this case, you might wonder what kind of fan I am. Is it a table fan or a ceiling fan? How many blades do fans have, what speed level does the regulator have, and so on? So lets see Fan Test cases.
Positive Test Cases For Fan (Table Fan)
Table of Contents
- Power On/Off:
- Verify that the table fan can be powered on.

- Verify that the fan does not oscillate when the oscillation function is enabled.
- Tilt Adjustment Failure:
- Verify that the fan’s head cannot be adjusted for directional airflow.
- Remote Range Limitation (if applicable):
- Verify that the remote control has a limited effective range.
- Build Quality Issues:
- Verify that the fan is constructed with subpar or low-quality materials.
- Improper Weight and Size Considerations:
- Verify that the fan is too heavy or large for its intended use.
- Ambiguous User Manual:
- Verify that the user manual lacks clarity and provides confusing instructions for operating and maintaining the fan.
- Timer Functionality Failure:
- Verify that the fan’s timer feature does not work or operates incorrectly.
Positive Test Cases For Ceiling Fan
- Power On/Off:
- Verify that the ceiling fan can be powered on.
