Answer 3

Before you start writing test cases to test charts, it will be useful to remember that charts are nothing but visual representations of data. The following test ideas should help you create test cases for charts like pie charts:

Pie charts

1) Is the number of parts in the pie chart the same as the number of data values?

2) Is the angle of every part of the pie chart proportional to the corresponding data value? You will need to divide a data value by the sum of all data values. This number multiplied by 360 (the number of degrees in a circle) will give the expected angle of this data value.

3) Does the pie chart work with a single data value, some data values e.g. 4 or five values and a large number of data values e.g. 20 values?

4) If the pie chart is colored, do adjacent pies have different colors?

5) If the pie chart is exploded, do all the parts point to the center of the pie?

6) Are the labels shown properly? What about legends?

Similarly, you can create test cases for other charts e.g. bar chart, line chart and so on.

Hope this helps!
