Part 2: W06-1 Value Boundary Analysis

Question 1

What is the difference between Robust equivalence class test selection and Boundary Value analysis test selection?

Answer 1

Robust equivalent class test selection tests values inside and outside the boundary

Boundary value analysis tests values directly beside all boundaries (between equivalence classes too)

Question 2

How does the Decision Tables test generation technique work?

Answer 2

System behaviour is modeled by a table with condition and action rows and rule columns

Question 3

What are the steps to create a Decision Table?

Answer 3

1. Determine all actions and conditions
2. List all combinations of conditions and possible actions under those conditions
3. Simplify rules (reduce columns)

Question 4

How do you use a Decision Table to create a a test case?

Answer 4

Conditions become inputs, actions are behaviours, each rule is a test case

Question 5

What requires more effort equivalence class test generation or decision table test generation?

Answer 5

Equivalence class - large identification effort

Decision table - large execution effort

Question 6

Which is more efficient equivalence class test generation or decision table test generation?

Answer 6

Decision table
