I would be a very rich man if I would get paid a dime every time I hear this statement when meeting a potential customer.
“I already know the test cases that we need.”
Frankly, I have a really hard time understanding this statement and always need to be careful not to reply with “You’ve got to be kidding me”.
During my professional career I ...
Black Box Test Design
Every now and then Conformiq Designer and Creator are compared against other testing tools that employ one type of test design heuristic, for example a combinatorial testing tool for generating optimized pair-wise test data. The capability of generating such combinatorial data combinations is one testing method that in practice has been observed ...
Test design concerns making the decisions on (1) what to and what not to test, (2) how to stimulate the system and with what data values, and (3) how the system should react and respond to the stimuli. It is a separate task from test execution and is done before executing the tests against the system. Test design techniques, on the other hand, are ...
Boundary value analysis is a refinement of the equivalence class partitioning method which again is one of the most generally applicable methods for black-box test design. The idea of equivalence class partitioning is to divide the all possible inputs to the system into “equivalence classes”, i.e. sets of inputs that should produce “analogous” ...
