Decision Table Based Testing
 Most rigorous techniques.
 DT represents and analyze logical
relationships
 4 parts
 Condition stub
 Condition entry
 Action stub
 Action entries
 DT with binary conditions are called
Limited entry DT otherwise extended entry
3

DT contd….
 Conditions acts as input
 Actions acts as output
 DT are declarative
 No of test case = no of columns in the
condition entry.

Modeling Logic with Decision
Tables
 Indifferent Condition
 Condition whose value does not affect which action is
taken for two or more rules
 Standard procedure for creating decision tables
 Name the condition and values each condition can
assume
 Name all possible actions that can occur
 List all rules
 Define the actions for each rule
 Simplify the table

Next Date Function
 Equivalence Classes/ Conditions
 M1 = {month : month has 30 days}
 M1 = {month : month has 31 days}
 M1 = {month : month is February}
 D1 = {day : 1<= day <= 28}
 D2 = {day : day = 29}
 D3 = {day : day = 30}
 D4 = {day : day = 31}
 Y1 = {Year : Year is leap}
 Y1 = {Year : Year is not leap}

Cause Effect Graph Testing
Technique
 Aids in selecting high yield set of test
cases
 Beneficial in highlighting incompleteness
and ambiguities in specifications.

9
01/23/25
Process used for deriving Test
Cases
 Identify causes and effects in the specification
 Convert semantic content of the specification to
Boolean graph linking causes and effects.
 Annotate the graph
 Convert the graph to limited entry decision table.
 Convert the columns of decision table to test
cases

Example:
 The characters in column 1 must be an A
or B.
 The characters in column 2 must be a
digit.
 In this situation, the update is made. If the
character in column 1 is incorrect,
message x is issued. If the character in
column 2 is not a digit, message y is
issued

12

The Causes are:
 C1: character in column 1 is A
 C2: character in column 1 is B
 C3: character in column 2 is a digit

The Effects are:

 E2: message x is issues
 E3: message y is issued

The causes are:
 C1: side x is less than sum of sides y and z
 C1: side y is less than sum of sides x and z
 C1: side z is less than sum of sides x and y
 C4: side x is equal to side y
 C5 side x is equal to side z
 C6 : side y is equal to size z

The effects are:

 E2: Scalene triangle
 E3: Isosceles triangle
 E4: Equilateral Triangle
 E5: Impossible
