Testing Search box

[kriday]

hi
I have a search box in my application which accepts employee id' s(It can be up to 5000) (or) their SSN (ssn should be in format) . Depending on the value it shows corresponding information. (For ex ; if I enter 12, and, employee 12 exists then it shows that information) How to test this search box for different ids or different SSN values

Please I need help. Thanks in advance

1. Define your Data - You can use any of the filesystem like Excel, Notepad etc.etc. or Datatable to store your data for which you would want to test.

2. Define the logic - A "For" loop which will read the data from the filesystem and then substitute that data into the search edit box and validates the returned data.

Does it help?
