Assumption, Also Known As Critical Fault Assumption Which States That Failures Are Rarely

Boundary Value Analysis (BVA) is a black box testing technique where test cases are designed using boundary values of input variables. For each input variable, BVA determines the nominal value and extreme values within the variable's range. Test cases are designed by setting all but one variable to the nominal value while allowing the remaining variable to take on its extreme values, based on the assumption that most failures result from a single fault.

Boundary Value Analysis (BVA) is a black box software testing technique where test

cases are designed using boundary values. BVA is based on the single fault
assumption, also known as critical fault assumption which states that failures are rarely
the product of two or more simultaneous faults. Hence while designing the test cases for
BVA we keep all but one variable to the nominal value and allowing the remaining
variable to take the extreme value.
Test Case Design for BVA:
While designing the test cases for BVA first we determine the number of input variables
in the problem. For each input variable, we then determine the range of values it can
take. Then we determine the extreme values and nominal value for each input variable.
Consider an input variable t taking values in the range [l, r].Extreme values for t are
