Condition Testing

Condition Testing is a white-box technique focusing on atomic conditions. Key features:

Definition:

  • Tests individual Boolean expressions
  • Focuses on the smallest testable units of logic

Process:

  • Identify atomic conditions in code
  • Design tests for each possible outcome
  • Execute tests and analyse results

Advantages:

  • Detailed testing of decision logic
  • Helps identify subtle logic errors

Challenges:

  • Can be time-consuming for complex logic
  • May require many test cases

Applications:

  • Critical systems with complex logic
  • Safety-critical software

Condition testing ensures a thorough evaluation of individual logical conditions.
