Boundary value analysis(BVA) and Equivalence partitioning(EP) both are test case design strategies in black box testing.
The values at the extremes (start/end values or lower/upper end values) of such classes are known as Boundary values. Analyzing the behavior of a system using such values is called Boundary value analysis.
For example: How do you do BVA for range between 1-10?
The boundary value analysis can have 6 text cases.
n,n-1,n+1 for the upper limit and n,n-1,n+1 for the lower limit.
In our example, as per BVA, there are 6 test case data,
Equivalence partitioning is a technique to divide the input data of software into different equivalence data classes i.e for input values.
For example: How do you do EP for range between 1-10?
Test condition:
1. Any number greater than 10 i.e 11, then it is considered invalid.
2. Any number less than 1 i.e 0 then it is considered invalid.
3. Numbers 1 to 10 are considered valid.
4. Any 3 digit number say -100 or 100 is invalid.
These cases are derived from the requirements specification for input data. These method reduces the time for testing and useful for effective test cases.
