Test cases for a Singly Linked list

What are some good testcases for a Linked list problem in general? for example test cases for a function which finds and eliminates duplicates and returns the pointer to the first node. Some core cases could be: the function is in c# or Java and not c, c++. Assume all positive integers as nodes of the list.

• Null
• Empty List
• Linked list with a loop
• List with all dups
• List with one node or 2 nodes (2 dups)
• No duplicates
• The list could encounter integer over flow, in开发者_运维百科case low memory (depending on 32 bit machine, 64 bit machine)
• Security testing, language automation, memory issues, performance and stress

What else? expecting outrageous test cases..any experts out there?

How about these?

• traversing the list
• edge cases:
  • traversing an empty list
  • traversing list where 1+ stored values are NULL
• operations (if applicable):
  • deleting from the list
  • inserting into the list
  • inserting a sub-list into the linked list
  • traversing the list backwards (if doubly-linked list)
• concurrency tests (if applicable):
  • race condition tests

• Security -> what level of permission is required to use the API, roles etc
• Memory - > How much memory is consumed when this API is used; Does it affect performance?
• Compatibility testing - > testing the suite using this API on different platforms, windows, MAC, Unix etc.
• Stress testing -> Invoke the API by using a master slave architecture and parallel processing on different clients.
• UI-> If the API has a UI, UI test cases come into picture like usability testing
