Verify business outcomes

Decide what must be true after an action before you run the test.

Scenario Useful check
Submit a form The required confirmation and resulting state are shown.
Leave a required field empty The approved validation message appears and submission is blocked.
Update a record The intended record shows the approved new values.
Filter a grid The required records are present and displayed values match the filter.
Use a restricted role Access matches the approved permission requirement.

These are examples of test design, not promises about your application. Use your requirements to decide the actual expected messages and values.

Review failures with evidence. A screenshot supports investigation; it does not replace an explicit expected-result check.
