testing Software Testing Techniques - Boundary Value Analysis Time-boxed offers
Example
The rule
An e-commerce have a 20% off offer valid for entire month of July.
How to apply the technique
Using the Equivalence Partition technique we could divide this as
- Inside July
- Is outside July
But we can do a little better with this case. We can use the boundaries of the partition to ensure we are covering the set as follows:
- June 30th (Out)
- July 1st (In)
- July 31st (In)
- August 1st (Out)
Using this specific inputs into our test cases design, we are going to ensure that the offer is valid inside July, and not outside it.
