Test Generation
SUMMARY
In this chapter we have introduced two classes of test-generation
techniques. The techniques using equivalence partitioning,
boundary-value analysis, and cause–effect graphing fall under
the category best known as partition testing.
A fault model for predicate testing is introduced. The BOR and BRO
techniques fall under the general category of predicate testing. Test
generation using partition testing is perhaps the most commonly
used method. Predicate testing is a bit more advanced though highly
effective in the detection of faults that fall under a fault model.
