📌 Need:
In software testing, ensuring that an application behaves correctly at the edge of input ranges is crucial. Bugs often occur at boundary values, such as the minimum and maximum limits of input fields.
🔍 What is it?
Boundary Value Analysis (BVA) is a software testing technique used to identify errors at the boundaries of input domains rather than within the range itself.
❓ How is it used?
- Identify Boundaries:
Determine the minimum and maximum values for each input field or parameter.
2. Create Test Cases:
Develop test cases that cover just below, at, and just above these boundary values.
3. Execute Tests:
Run these test cases to see how the application handles boundary values.
4. Analyze Results:
Evaluate the test results to ensure that the application behaves as expected at these critical points.
