Forms of Equivalence Class Testing

Forms of Equivalence Class Testing. Normal. • only equivalence classes are valid and invalid input values. • emphasis is on "single failures". • works well when variables have a valid range. • test cases: check valid case, then check invalid combinations by using.

  1. Forms of Equivalence Class Testing Normal • only equivalence classes are valid and invalid input values • emphasis is on "single failures" • works well when variables have a valid range • test cases: check valid case, then check invalid combinations by using one invalid value with remaining valid values. Weak • more complex equivalence classes of valid input values • variables may have several ranges of valid values • test cases "cover" valid combinations Strong • equivalence classes as in weak form • cross product of equivalence classes of valid input values • presumes variables are independent We compare these for a function of three variables, F(x , x , x ) 1 2 3

  2. Normal: classes of valid values of inputs Robust: classes of valid and invalid values of inputs Weak: (single fault assumption) one from each class Strong: (multiple fault assumption) one from each class in Cartesian Product We compare these for a function of three variables, F(x1, x2, x3) Forms of Equivalence Class Testing
