Study Notes
- Test design is a stage in the quality assurance process where test scenarios are created and testing activities are outlined for a project.
- Test design helps structure QA routines for better requirement coverage.
- Test design techniques are strategies that help write better test cases.
- Using test design techniques reduces the number of necessary test scenarios while ensuring broad requirements coverage.
- Five commonly-used test design techniques are equivalent class partitioning, boundary value analysis, state transition, pairwise testing, and error guessing.
- Equivalent class partitioning splits test data into classes where all elements are similar in some way.
- Boundary value analysis checks boundary values, those that are at the ‘borders’ of the classes.
- State transition visualizes the states of a software system at different time frames and stages of usage.
- Pairwise testing creates unique pairs to test a huge amount of incoming data in different combinations.
- Error guessing predicts where errors are likely to appear, relying on previous experience, knowledge of the system, and product requirements.
