– Test the application’s response to invalid inputs or error conditions.

– Verify that appropriate error messages are displayed to the user.

– Test the recovery mechanisms, such as gracefully handling server errors or network disruptions.

 

15. Performance and Response Time:

– Conduct performance testing to measure the application’s response time for different operations.

– Test the application’s ability to handle peak loads and high traffic situations.

– Verify that the application remains responsive and stable under heavy usage.

 

16. Concurrent Bookings and Seat Availability:

– Test the application’s behavior when multiple users attempt to book the same seat simultaneously.
