We will create a Test Plan in order to demonstrate how we can configure the Test Plan to include functional testing capabilities. The modified Test Plan will include these scenarios:

1. Create Account—New Visitor creating an Account
2. Log in User—User logging in to an Account
Following these scenarios, we will simulate various entries and form submission as a request to a page is made, while checking the correct page response to these user entries. We will add assertions to the samples following these scenarios to verify the 'correctness' of a requested page. In this manner, we can see if the pages responded correctly to invalid data. For example, we would like to check that the page responded with the correct warning message when a user enters an invalid password, or whether a request returns the correct page.
First of all, we will create a series of test cases following the various user actions in each scenario. The test cases may be designed as follows:
