Boundary Value Testing

 X(min) Minimum Value


 X(min+) Just above Minimum Value
 X(nom) Nominal Value
 X(max-) Just below Maximum Value
 X(max) Maximum Value

 In case of 2nd variable, only one variable can use its
boundary value and second will use its avg value

Special Value Testing
 The tester/developer has reasons to believe
these values would execute statements having
risk of containing bugs.
 General Risks: applicable across all programs.
Example Boundary value testing
 Special Risks: depends upon types of program.
Example- Leap year not considered, calculating days between
two dates as some months have 28, 29 days and
some have 30 or 31 days.

Robustness Test Cases

 As we can see in the graph, we have min – and max + test cases as well which
means that Robustness Testing covers Boundary Value Testing and in addition
to BVT, it covers extra test cases as well.

Equivalence Partitioning
Testing

Equivalence Partitioning
Testing

BSSE (Software Quality Engineering) SZABIST-Islamabad 30


Guidelines for Equivalence Partitioning :

 If the range condition is given as an input, then


one valid and two invalid equivalence classes are
defined.
 If a specific value is given as input, then one valid
and two invalid equivalence classes are defined.
 If a member of set is given as an input, then one
valid and one invalid equivalence class is
defined.
 If Boolean no. is given as an input condition, then
one valid and one invalid equivalence class is
defined.

Advantage of Equivalence Partitioning Testing
 An advantage of this approach is it reduces the time required for performing testing of
a software due to less number of test cases.
 Example:
 Assume that the application accepts an integer in the range 100 to 999
 Valid Equivalence Class partition: 100 to 999 inclusive.
 Non-valid Equivalence Class partitions: less than 100, more than 999,
decimal numbers and alphabets/non-numeric characters.
