Lecture 7 - Test Preps -> Quick Intro -> The Tester's Mental Attitude -> Intro To Special Skills In Bug Finding -> Black Box Testing TechniquesAs you know, testers find bugs by executing test cases (there are, of course, other ways to test, like ad hoc testing, but the professional way is to use test cases).
We’ve already talked about the formal side of test cases.
Today we’ll talk about test case content.
The art of creating test case content lies in finding those golden
– ideas
– scenarios
– expected results
that are well geared to assist us in finding bugs.
Test case content is created by using a set of special techniques (another term is methods) called black box testing methodology.
Below are the methods that we’ll learn today:
1. Dirty List/White List
2. Test Tables
3. Flowcharts
4. Risk Analysis
5. Equivalent Classes
6. Boundary Values
Please note that there are also other methods used by black box testers. I picked these 6 because:
– They are very reliable.
– They are well fit for start-up environment.
– They have been successfully used by the PayPal QA Team. Next ->
