Domain Testing: Divide and Conquer - Testing Education

Identifying variables of a given
program
� First, you identify the various functions of the
application.
� Second, you take up each individual function and
identify the variables/fields of the function.
� Third, you take up each variable and develop a series
of tests for it by performing equivalence class and
boundary value analysis on it, just as we have been
doing so far in all the examples we have seen and
the exercises you have solved.
� Fourth, you perform combination testing of
independent variables of the function and test
dependent variables separately. We shall look at
combination testing later.
