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.

$-$ Verify that search results match the entered keywords.

$-$ Test the new filters for genre, author, and publication date.

$2.$ Personalized Recommendation Test:

$-$ Verify that the recommendation system suggests books based on past purchases.

$-$ Check if browsing history influences the recommendations.

$-$ Ensure that recommendations vary significantly between different user profiles.

$3.$ General Functionality Tests:

$-$ Test account creation and login processes.

$-$ Verify the functionality of the shopping cart $($adding$/$removing items$).$

$-$ Check the checkout process including payment processing.

Question:

Based on the above case study of the online bookstore application, create a detailed test case for

recommendations$).$ Your test case should include the following elements:
