- Examples of test data include alphanumeric sequences to test password validation routines. Such validation routines could be:
- A password must be between 8-20 characters
- Test data would be passwords of less than 8 characters or greater than 20 characters
- A password must include only alphanumeric characters
- Test data would be passwords including non-alphanumeric symbols such as @, ?, #, !, $ or %, etc
