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.
