I don’t have a lot of experience in manual testing. I’m writing test cases for manually testing email authentication for a login:
user enters email and password
user is launched to verification page with a text box for a code
user is sent an email with the code
user enters code and is logged in
all I’m allowed to use right now is my own company email address. I’m the only QA in my company so technically that would work for now, but wow it feels shoddy. Would the best practice be to put logging into my email account directly in the test steps? Is there some kind of workaround that I’m missing? Is this as crazy as it sounds to me??
