4.1 Test Techniques Overview

Question 1

What do test techniques support in software testing?

Answer 1

Test techniques support testers in test analysis (what to test) and test design (how to test).

Question 2

What are black-box test techniques based on?

Answer 2

Black-box test techniques, also known as specification-based techniques, are based on the specified behavior of the test object without reference to its internal structure.

Question 3

When can white-box test techniques be created?

Answer 3

White-box test techniques, also known as structure-based techniques, can only be created after the design or implementation of the test object, as they depend on its internal structure and processing.

Question 4

What is the basis of experience-based test techniques?

Answer 4

Experience-based test techniques effectively use the knowledge and experience of testers for the design and implementation of test cases.
