Types of black-box techniques
- [Instructor] Quality test design is about focusing on what data is inputted and what comes out. In a black-box test, it's about ensuring that we test as much of the software as possible, within the constraints of time, data and mathematical probability. Your test cases cannot cover everything. So we use these techniques to eliminate reasonable issues and catch the outliers. Starting from the "Hello, World!" application every programmer begins with to a complicated accounting application. This is about building on foundational knowledge. So for testing is no different. The techniques in the black-box test begin with the most rudimentary approaches to data analysis and expand into complicated examinations of the software's logic, performance and functionality. All good test cases start with the data. Software at its core is about taking information and telling a computer how to manage it. Users enter data and the…
