About test-design-techniques

A test-design skill that helps testers select techniques such as boundary value analysis, equivalence partitioning, decision tables, state transitions, and pairwise testing based on input type. It applies to building or refining test suites while reducing redundancy.

Key features

  1. 01Select techniques by input type
  2. 02Cover numeric boundaries and partitions
  3. 03Use decision tables for multiple conditions
  4. 04Design state-transition tests for workflows
  5. 05Reduce combinations with pairwise testing
  6. 06Generate and analyze tests with agents

Use cases

  1. 01Design new test suites
  2. 02Reduce redundancy in existing tests
  3. 03Handle complex business rules
  4. 04Analyze test coverage

Test Design Techniques

<default_to_action> When designing test cases, select technique by input type:

  • Numeric ranges → BVA + EP
  • Multiple conditions → Decision Tables
  • Workflows → State Transition
  • Many parameter combinations → Pairwise Testing </default_to_action>

Quick Reference Card

When to Use
  • Designing new test suites
  • Optimizing existing tests
  • Complex business rules
  • Reducing test redundancy

Agent-Driven Test Design

// Auto-generate BVA tests
await Task("Generate BVA Tests", {
  field: 'age',
  dataType: 'integer',
  constraints: { min: 18, max: 120 }
}, "qe-test-generator");
// Returns: 6 boundary test cases

// Auto-generate pairwise tests
await Task("Generate Pairwise Tests", {
  parameters: {
    browser: ['Chrome', 'Firefox', 'Safari'],
    os: ['Windows', 'Mac', 'Linux'],
    screen: ['Desktop', 'Tablet', 'Mobile']
  }
}, "qe-test-generator");
// Returns: 9-12 tests (vs 27 full combination)

Remember

With Agents: qe-test-generator applies these techniques automatically, generating optimal test suites with maximum coverage and minimum redundancy. Agents identify boundaries, partitions, and combinations from code analysis.
