Figure 7.1: Overview of test design techniques. Dynamic techniques may focus on functions or on quality factors. Static techniques, which involve scrutinising code or documentation, are usually also counted as testing, even though no code is executed.

7.3 Dynamic Test Design Techniques

Dynamic testing involves us means testing code by executing it. We usually split up the dynamic techniques into:

• behaviour-based, often termed black-box,
• structural, usually called white- or glass-box.

No	Target	Description	Method	Description
1	Data	test data	equivalence partitions, boundary value   analysis, domain testing
2	Flows	different levels, from overarching business   processes, to program code, which have both control flows and data flows.	work processes, use cases for test cases	The principles of flow testing are similar   to each other, whatever the level. Firstly, we draw up the flow graph, then   we cover the variations of the fl ows by using branch or path analysis. This   is the same principle as white box testing.
3	Event based		state graphs
4	Logic:Rules, Formulae		decision tables,decision tree
5	Combinatorial Analysis		all pairs, elementary comparisons	Elementary comparisons involve all   variables included in a condition being capable of determining the result of   the condition at least once, and all results of the condition being obtained.
6	Risk-based testing		risk lists,defect guessing, taxonomies,   defect classifi cations and attack patterns
7	Advanced Testing		scenario-based, soap opera, time cycles,   data cycles
