Setting the Test Scenarios
I broke the tests into three main parts: creating a new account, logging in, and completing a deposit form. Each one asks different things of the validation system, from confirming if an email is already taken to checking payment details. I made common mistakes on purpose, like using a invalid email format or a weak password, to check how the site handled errors. This enabled me assess not only speed, but also how readable the error messages were. I also measured successful submissions to determine the total processing time before a page loaded or a confirmation popped up.
