Domain Testing: Divide and Conquer - Testing Education

Question 7 (15 points):
• Test A: The I-20 VISA program for international students lets a student
know the status of his or her application for a new I-20 by entering his or
her corresponding VISA number. The VISA number is a 16-digit numeric
value with no dashes, commas or spaces in between. The minimum allowed
VISA number that a student could have ever been assigned is
1000009999000000 and the maximum is 9999955590999800. What
variables could be involved in analysis of this group of facts? What variable
do we know enough about to perform equivalence class analysis and then a
boundary value analysis? Develop a series of tests by performing
equivalence class and boundary value analysis on this variable.
• Test B: Creative Technologies offers its employees the opportunity to
attend conferences and training that helps in the enhancement of their skill
set and in turn the company’s profits. The company requires that an
employee use the company’s reimbursement system to report expenses. The
system has an expense report function that has various fields like employee
ID, meal expenses, travel expenses, training/conference registration
expenses, miscellaneous expenses and total expenditure. The company
reimburses the employees up to $5,000. All expense-related fields require
entering of only whole numbers, which means that the user should round
each expense to the nearest whole number and then enter this number in the
corresponding field. What variables could be involved in analysis of this
group of facts? What variable do we know enough about to perform
equivalence class analysis and then a boundary value analysis? Develop a
series of tests by performing equivalence class and boundary value analysis
on this variable.
