Black-Box Test Technique

Checklist-Based Testing
A. An experience-based test technique whereby the experienced tester uses a high-level list of items to be noted, checked, or remembered, or a set of rules or criteria against which a product has to be verified.
B. An approach to testing whereby the testers dynamically design and execute tests based on their knowledge, exploration of the test item and the results of previous tests.

Coverage
A. A procedure used to define test conditions, design test cases, and specify test data.
B. The degree to which specified coverage items have been determined or have been exercised by a test suite expressed as a percentage.

Decision Coverage
A. A specific instantiation of a test process.

Error Guessing
A. A test technique only based on the tester’s experience, knowledge and intuition.
B. A test technique in which tests are derived on the basis of the tester’s knowledge of past failures, or general knowledge of failure modes.
