Case Study: Online Bookstore Application

Background:

An online bookstore application allows users to browse, search for, and purchase books. The application features user account creation and management, a search engine for books, a shopping cart, and a checkout system with payment processing.

Scenario:

The development team has recently introduced a new feature: personalized book recommendations. This feature analyzes the user's past purchases and browsing history to recommend books. The team has also updated the search engine to include filters based on book genres, author names, and publication dates.

Test Cases Developed:

$1.$ Search Functionality Test:

$-$ Test the search functionality with different keywords.
