CSTE Test Cases

a. Boundary Value testing b. Equivalence testing c. Error Guessing Solution Boundary Value Analysis: If Valid Input is 100 Boundary + 1 = 101 Boundary Value = 100 Boundary \u2013 1= 99 Equivalence Partitioning: If Valid Input is in the Range of 10 and 1 5 Invalid Below the Partition = 8 Valid In the Partition = 12 Outside of the Partition = 18 Error Guessing: Its testers experience to test the functionality creating such a data which may cause failure.
