Hi Guru,

Its a part of SAP unit testing

Negative testing is performed on security roles and profiles, custom fields, objects, and processes. Each test in negative testing needs two elements:

1. Intentionally specify conditions that will cause the software to generate an error.

2. Ensure that the generated error is handled in a specified manner.

An example of a negative test condition would be: Attempting to post a material to an invalid profit center should produce an error message. Another negative testing example for security roles and segregation of duties would be u201CAn inventory clerk attempts to approve a million-dollar purchase order when he is only permitted to approve purchase orders for a maximum of $500,000u2033

Negative testing will be designed to address the following situations:

Check exception handling and error message.

Prove that the system will deal with program exceptions and erroneous data.

Limit or prevent an end user from trying to do something he should not.

Demonstrate that the system does not do anything that it is not supposed to do.

Users are permitted to perform only actions based on their authorizations, position roles, and permissions.

Hope this will help.

Reward Point if helpful.

Thanks.,

RAja
