Boundary testing

Boundary testing

Boundary testing or boundary value analysis, is where test cases are generated using the extremes of the input domain, e.g. maximum, minimum, just inside/outside boundaries, typical values, and error values. It is similar to Equivalence Partitioning but focuses on "corner cases". [ [http://www.aptest.com/glossary.html#bvatesting Software Testing and Quality Assurance Glossary ] ]
