Like...!!!
Even though I do not agree with the 3rd case for the cup. The cup can be square and could still avoid spilling...it depends i=on the user...!!!
1.pour very hot water /coffee and check whether it can withstand high temp,
2.pour cold water/ice and check whether it withstand cold temp
3.pour coffee to check whether there is no leakage
4.drop it from a reasonable height and check whether it breaks\
compatitbility test of handle
1 check whether d space in between the handle is large enough to hold by people of various finger sizes..//
1st time answering such a question ,is this the way to answer this question?rating on 10 would be useful
keeping the two fingers by pressing the handle of the coffee cup no matter the size of the cup or the handle of the cup it give the compatibility to hold the cup
I don't think 1. and 2. are handle tests - they belong in the Cup test suite.
Will the handle stay on when the cup is full of water? Sugar? Milk?
I addition, I'd perform usability tests: When the cup is full of hot water, can it be carried by the handle without burning the hand? Can it be carried easily if there are other cups to carry?
i think we are asked to test both the cup as well as the handle.i could not think of good answers for the handle part

another usability test for the cup itself would be consider its *color* and decorations (if any): I personally do not like if a cup is black inside as you never know when you tea is ready ))
Test cases for handle
1. How strong is the material that it is made up of.
2. If its detached from cup then how to attach it again (recovery testing)
3. Usability.. comfortable
4. How is it painted?? will that paint lasts even though u clean it with a hard surface
5. How easily it can be cleaned. some materials just get stain and wont go
6. How strong it is attached to the cup. shake the cup by holding the handle
7. How much heat or cold can it bear
8. How much it weighs..
9. Whats its size?? what are the cup size it can be attached to.
10. How is it if its attached to a bigger or smaller cups.
test case on cup handle:
- saurabh February 16, 20121.Not too thin Nor too thick
reason-->if is too thin then center of mass of cup should be far from finger(Unstable equilibrium) & Not to thick (since it should be handy);
2.Gap in the handle (optimum).
3.curvature of handle should be curve (no square....) --->easy to handle.
Test case on cup:
1.How much temp. it can withstand.
2.Interior color-->like if it is black(absorption of Heat energy so coffee will become cold readily).
3.Shape of cup-->if(circular) then (while drinking it will not spill out)...other shape like (square
may result in spilling)
4.weight of coffee cup-->(optimum(acc to its capacity))
