equivalence class testing

subject fact

equivalence class testing has definition A testing strategy based on determining the possible equivalence classes and creating a test case for each 2001-08-30 14:55:30.0
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 2001-08-30 14:57:56.0
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 2001-08-30 14:57:05.0
