3) Shake the pen well and then try to write.
4) Put the pen in a contact with a surface where it can possibly leak and see whether the ink is leaked or not.
5) Put the pen in the reverse direction for a while and then try to write.
Functional test Cases :-
1) test whether the pen can be used to write on different surfaces or not.
2) Check whether pen is properly open/closed or not.
3) Check whether the pen writes with equal intensity on each surface or not.
4) Check whether the writings made by the pen is of good readable form or not.
5) Test whether pen works with all the different kind of inks it supports.
6) Test whether the pen works well with a refilled ink or not.
Stress/Preformance Test Cases :-

What are the problems with User Interface Design in a project?

What are the problems with User Interface Design in a project?
It should be user friendly obviously
What the user sees is what they get
Use of simple English terms
Customizable
Need to think about the complexity and performance overhead for achieving the user friendliness...
Related to user interface there can be many things like deciding color, intuitive etc...
