UI testing is User Interface testing. where the tester needs to check ,what is the look and feel of the product under test. which includes, the complete design layout, different fonts, positioning of different labels and buttons in the screen .

3) Anyone option have to be selected as default in the Radio box
4) Able to select the options in the radio box by using right and left
arrows in the keyboard
5) Select option have to display as default in the combo box
6) It will not allow to enter a new option in the combo box
7) We can able to select the options in the list by using up and down
arrows in the keyboard

9) By clicking submit button without entering any texts, it have to
display error message in mandatory fields
10) By Clicking Cancel button it have to display the previous or home page

Adding few more,

# Links and buttons in the page should be active and should direct to proper (expected) page
# Default action for "Enter" button should be defined
# Proper navigation system should be defined (action through mouse, tab key or enter key.)
# Default options such as "Logout, Change password, Terms and conditions, Privacy policy, etc" should be there in standard positions. We should not confuse the user by changing the default location
# Font color should match with the application theme and should be more visible
# Avoiding ALL CAPS sentence in the application is advisable.

lot more.
