****** Test Details:
Objective: Ensure that the search functionality on the e-commerce site returns relevant results and handles empty queries gracefully.
****** Test Steps:
1) Access the E-commerce Site:
Open the web browser and navigate to the e-commerce site URL.
2) Locate the Search Bar:
Find the search bar on the main page of the site.
3) Test with Valid Search Queries:
Enter a variety of search terms related to products available on the site (e.g., "laptop," "running shoes," "Bluetooth speaker").
Click the search button or press Enter.
4) Verify Search Results:
Check that the search results are relevant to the search terms entered.
Ensure that product names, descriptions, and images match the search query.
Verify that the search results are displayed correctly and that no errors are encountered.
5) Test with Empty Search Query:
Clear the search bar and perform a search with an empty query (click the search button or press Enter).
6) Verify Empty Query Handling:
Ensure that the system handles the empty search query gracefully.
Check if an appropriate message is displayed, such as "Please enter a search term" or "No results found."
Verify that the site does not return an error or crash.
7) Test with Invalid Search Queries:
Enter search terms that are unlikely to return results (e.g., random letters or symbols).
Click the search button or press Enter.
8) Verify Invalid Search Results:
Ensure that the site displays a relevant message for invalid search queries, such as "No results found for [query]."
Confirm that the site does not produce errors or unexpected behavior.
9) Test Edge Cases:
Enter very long search queries to ensure the site can handle them without issues.
Test with special characters or mixed language queries to check for proper handling.
10) Check Mobile and Browser Compatibility:
Perform the above tests on different devices (desktop, tablet, mobile) and browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) to ensure consistent functionality.
