ISTQB Foundation Level Certification Explained - Chapter 4 (Part 2)

What’s the difference between equivalence partitioning and boundary value analysis? What is use case testing? Today we continue reviewing Chapter 4 of the ISTQB Foundation Level syllabus and talk about Black-box Testing, also known as ‘specification-based testing’. We look into its characteristics and the techniques this method encompasses.

Equivalence Partitioning
Behavior Value Analysis
State transaction
Decision Table
Use Case

[@МарияСлепченкова-я2г]

1. Boundary value analysis is an extension of equivalence partioning technique.
2. Each value must belong to only one equivalence partition.
3. If you're using decision table technique, coverage is measured as the number of decision rules tested by at least one test case, divided by total number of decision rules, normally expressed as a percentage.

Quiz answers are:
1. For extension of EP technique we should use BVA technique for checking boundary values of all partitions.
2. Each value must belong to only one equivalence partition.
3. Coverage is measured as the number of decision rules tested by at least one test case, divided by the total number of decision rules, expressed as a percentage.

My answers for the quiz are:
1. Boundary value analysis, or BVA, may be considered as an extension of the equivalence partitioning, in the sense that the minimum and maximum values of the partition are its boundaries, where the defects are more likely to appear. However the BVA is difficult to apply for non-number values.
2. Each value must belong to only one equivalence partition - as it should be treated by the system in a particular way, distinct from all the other ones.
3. For the decision table technique, coverage is measured as the number of decision rules tested by at least 1 test case, divided by the total number of decision rules, normally expressed as a percentage.

1. Analysis of boundary values. the decision to go for a walk
2. One class
3. Tdec = (L1dec/L2dec) * 100%
where:
Tdec-test coverage of decision tables
L1dec - the number of decision-making rules checked by test cases
L2dec - total number of decision-making rules

3:42 I think you're off by 1 cent in this example
5:05 isn't only the 4th column redundant?
