Summary for Week 13
-
Lectures 28: We covered various criteria for picking test cases used in black-box testing. We discussed
partition testing, boundary-value analysis, and cause-effect graphing.
Date: Mon, 11/26/01.
-
Lectures 29,30: We covered usage-based testing. This form of testing requires
one to construct a statistical model (such as Markov chains) of the usage of the system.
Several important questions, such as determining the "hot paths" of the system, can be
answered by analyzing the statistical model. We focussed on Markov chains and spent
significant time on covering background about Markov chains.
Dates: Wed, 11/28/01 and Fri, 11/30/01.
