Decision Table Testing

Coverage in decision table testing is typically expressed as a percentage of executed test cases versus total test cases.
Decision table testing strength lies in effectively managing and reducing complex combinations of inputs.
The number of rules can be reduced using combinatorial testing or pairwise testing approaches.
Decision table testing coverage items refer to specific scenarios or combinations of inputs that need to be tested.
To achieve 100% coverage in decision table testing, all possible combinations of inputs must be executed.
Columns in decision tables correspond to conditions, actions, or rules being tested.
Limited-entry decision tables use specific notation for conditions, often abbreviated for simplicity.
Extended-entry decision tables allow for more complex scenarios and can manage variations in conditions and actions.
In decision tables, 'X' represents an action that should be taken under specific conditions.
'N/A' indicates that a condition does not apply in certain scenarios during decision table testing.
