    You are assigned to test a simple electrical water kettle. The water kettle consists of two parts:

    • Electric water kettle with 1.0-liter capacity (1500 watts of power)
    • Power base, used to plug-in the kettle cordlessly

    The kettle has two buttons:

    • Mechanical button to open the lid. The lid is closed by hand, without any buttons.
    • Switch on/off button to start boiling the water.

    When the kettle is plugged-in to the power base, and the power base is plugged-in the electrical network, and the kettle holds enough water (at least 0.2 liters), the kettle starts heating the water.

    • It takes 2-3 minutes for the water to get hot. When the water starts to boil, the kettle automatically stops (its start button gets into “off” state).
    • When the water is hot and the boiler is switched on, it automatically switches off after 0.5-2 seconds.
    • When the kettle is empty or almost empty (holding less than 0.2 liters) and the kettle is switched on, it automatically switches off after 0.5-2 seconds.

    Your task is to think about the test scenarios and test cases to test the electrical water kettle. Describe the test scenarios and each test case in the following format:
