2. Tool to be used
2.1 TestingWhiz Tool

TestingWhiz is an automated testing tool developed by Cygnet Infotech
designed to streamline various testing processes, including functional,
regression, database, web, API, and mobile application testing. It offers a
codeless automation approach through a drag-and-drop user interface,
making it accessible for testers of all experience levels. The tool features
record-and-playback capabilities, allowing easy test creation without
needing complex scripts, as well as over 290 pre-built commands for
automating different scenarios. TestingWhiz integrates with tools like
JIRA, TFS, Jenkins, Bugzilla, and Mantis, providing seamless bug tracking
and management. It supports data-driven testing and offers cross-
browser compatibility, making it suitable for both web and mobile
applications on browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. In
this project, TestingWhiz is used to verify the accuracy of weather data,
cross-browser functionality, network reliability, and overall system
performance. The key benefits of using TestingWhiz include time-saving
through automation, consistency in test execution, and cross-platform
testing, helping ensure comprehensive coverage and reliability in the
Weatherzone application. However, the tool's codeless nature also has a
limitation—it restricts advanced users who may require more
customizations, and its 30-day free trial might not be enough for
prolonged projects without purchasing a full license. To get started with
TestingWhiz, one can easily download it from the official website and
utilize its simple automation features for effective testing.
3. Input Data Requirements
Page 13 of 39
The input data for testing will include various weather conditions, user
locations, temperature values, and network connectivity states. This
