boundary testing
subject			fact

boundary testing	has definition A testing strategy based on testing at the boundaries of equivalence classes - since this is where most errors occur
	is a subtopic of 10.3 - Defects in Ordinary Algorithms
	is a kind of testing
testing	can find defects whose consequences are obvious but which are buried in complex code, and thus will be hard to detect when inspecting
	involves thinking of what could go wrong without actually studying the software
	is complementary to inspecting
	requires attention to detail
process	see also process^2
