Boundary Value Analysis & Equivalence Partitioning with Examples

Image
Practically, due to time and budget considerations, it is not possible to perform exhausting testing for each set of test data, especially when there is a large pool of input combinations. ·       We need an easy way or special techniques that can select test cases intelligently from the pool of test-case, such that all test scenarios are covered. ·       We use two techniques -  Equivalence Partitioning & Boundary Value Analysis testing techniques  to achieve this. Boundary Testing: Boundary testing is the process of testing between extreme ends or boundaries between partitions of the input values. So these extreme ends like Start- End, Lower- Upper, Maximum-Minimum, Just Inside-Just Outside values are called boundary values and the testing is called "boundary testing". The basic idea in boundary value testing is to select input variable values at their: Minimum Just above th...
