It’s important to know the equivalence classes for your system under test, because you can use equivalence classes to limit your test cases. Let’s look at an example. Let’s say you have a user interface that looks like this: Remember, […]

Data-driven testing is so common and valuable that I’ve seen teams set up their […]

The goals of the series are to: These techniques are not tied to any tool. However, I’ll use some examples in NUnit because it’s […]
