STQA - Equivalence Partitioning, Boundary Value Analysis, Decision Table




How to do Equivalence Partitioning, Boundary Value Analysis, and Decision table?


TRANSFER

For example, CIMBClick system has a transfer function. The inputs are an amount of money, account number, and TAC code. So, for the amount of money, there is a limitation which it could not be transferred and invalid input. The same thing for an account number and TAC code. The valid for account number is only ten pin number. More than that, it considered invalid.

Amount of money
                                    0  Invalid                       1                 Valid                     20500                 Invalid
                        
Account number
                                   0     Invalid                     10                Valid                        11                     Invalid


TAC code                  6    Valid                           7                      Invalid



Total input & invalid input = 3*3*2  
                                               = 18

Note : 
3 column - amount of money
3 column - account number
2 column - TAC code

Then, here is the example of valid and invalid inputs :

PARAMETER

INVALID
Amount of Money
12
0.5, 20500
Account Number
10
8, 13
TAC Code

Decision Table

Basically, the positive and negative is the action encountered when the input is valid. What are the expectations going to happen? Example actions for the valid amount of money, valid account number and valid TAC code as follows :


DECISION TABLE
POSITIVE
NEGATIVE
Valid Amount of Money
Proceed to amount of money to transfer
Try again <= 3
Valid Account Number
Proceed to request TAC code
Reject transaction
Valid TAC Code
Process transfer
