Amazon payment process

Amazon payment process

In this post, I will share how to write test cases for the amazon shopping payment process.

Pre-requisite:

• The user has already login into their amazon shopping account with valid id and password.
• The user has selected the product and added it to the cart.

Functional Testing:

Let’s start our conversation with what is Functional Testing? 

Functional testing can be defined as a type of software testing in which we verify if an application’s functionality is working as expected, according to the provided functional or requirement specifications.

This testing is mainly focused on the specifications as per customer usage. Each functionality of the application is tested by providing appropriate input, getting the expected output, and then comparing the expected output against the actual output(as mentioned in the requirement specification). 

For the functional testing, we need to check the functionality of the AUT, and along with that, we also have to check the user interface, APIs, Database, and Security related aspects of the application.

Now, if we talk about the Amazon payment process, we need to check a lot of functionalities. But here, I will cover some of the underlying functional flows, which is crucial for the application to function correctly. I am going to break down the payment process in the form of a tree( Just for a better understanding).
