In this video you will learn about:
Software testing technique, emphasizing its complexity despite apparent simplicity. You will also get familiarized with the traditional approach, highlight fundamental concepts like input/result variables and primary/secondary dimensions, and introduced to a schema for applying domain testing to various variables. Using PowerPoint's page width field as an example, how to determine valid values, testing boundaries, and handling invalid values, emphasizing the importance of testers' own analysis in the absence of detailed specifications will be discussedfoundations, addressing the impossibility of achieving complete testing due to the vast number of variables, combinations, and user interactions. Emphasizing the limitations of exhaustive testing, the example of testing a function reading a 32-bit word illustrates the challenges. Doug Hoffman's case study on testing the MassPar computer reveals that even billions of tests may not be exhaustive, and overlooking certain inputs, unexpected user behaviors, or easter eggs can lead to critical issues. The lecture stresses the need for strategic, representative testing and acknowledges the impracticality of testing every possible scenario.
