METHODS FOR
BLACK-BOX TESTING
専Equivalence Partitioning
lnput domain of a program are divided into several
equivalent Classes.
1 Boundary- Value Analysis
The edges of equivalent Classes are analyzed.
(e.蛋. Maximum values,Minimum values)
書Cause-Effect Graphing
Test eases are derived from a Boolean graph
linking input and output Conditions.
〔PROBLEMS〕
l Above Methods do not help us in obtaining input
egnditions.
D Ho闇ean闇e Obtain input conditions?
義 Cause-Effect Graphing requires the knowledge and
manPO野er.
Q Ho闇ean闇?e deriye test eases efficiently?
l How ean闇e Share the information and knowledge
for test between testing members?

TEST CASE DESIGN
PROCEDURE
l Step-1) TEST CLASSIFICATION
Functions are divided into smaller units.
義 Step-2) TEST FACTOR ANALYSIS
Input eonditions?恒11ed FaetoTS) and their
values (Called States) are identified from
exteTnal specifications.
l Step-3) TEST CASE GENERATION
Test eases are generated by combini鵬the
states of the factors.
義 Step一郎?Definition of Test Results
Expected results are defined for each
generated test eases.
