Classification Tree

A Classification Tree is a test design technique that organises and visualises test data domains and their classifications in a hierarchical structure. It is used to systematically create and select test cases by combining different classifications and values, ensuring comprehensive test coverage. Features include:

Structure:

  • The root node represents the system under test
  • Branches represent different classifications
  • Leaves represent specific test values

Purpose:

  • Organise test input data
  • Identify test combinations

Creation Process:

  • Identify key system attributes
  • Define classifications for each attribute
  • Determine relevant values for each classification

Benefits:

  • Systematic test case generation
  • Visual representation of test data

Applications:

Classification Trees help create comprehensive test suites efficiently.
