7 State Transition Table

The document describes state transition testing, which checks how a system's state changes under varying input values. It provides examples of state transition diagrams and tables that represent different states and the transitions between them depending on events. The objectives are to test behavior under different inputs, dependency on past values, and state changes. Advantages are understanding behavior and representation, while disadvantages are limited applicability and reliability.

State Transition Testing


 StateTransition Testing is a type of
software testing which is performed to
check the change in the state of the
application under varying input.
 The condition of input passed is changed
and the change in state is observed.

 In this type of testing, both positive and


negative input values are provided and
the behavior of the system is observed.

Objectives of State Transition


Testing:
 To test the behavior of the system under
varying input.
 To test the dependency on the values in
the past.
 To test the change in transition state of
the application.
 To test the performance of the system.

 State Transition Diagram:


State Transition Diagram shows how the
state of the system changes on certain
inputs.
It has four main components:
 States
 Transition
 Events
 Actions

Advantages of State Transition


Testing:
 State transition testing helps in
understanding the behavior of the system.
 State transition testing gives the proper
representation of the system behavior.
 State transition testing covers all the
conditions.

Disadvantages of State
Transition Testing:

Example 1:
 Let’s consider an ATM system function where
if the user enters the invalid password three
times the account will be locked.
 In this system, if the user enters a valid
password in any of the first three attempts the
user will be logged in successfully. If the user
enters the invalid password in the first or
second try, the user will be asked to re-enter
the password. And finally, if the user enters
incorrect password 3rd time, the account will
be blocked.
