-00:00:00,140 --> 00:00:02,790

-Now, let's go back to our systematic functional testing

-

-2

-00:00:02,790 --> 00:00:05,540

-approach and all the steps in this process. So

-

-3

-00:00:05,540 --> 00:00:07,680

-far we've seen the first step and the second

-

-4

-00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,340

-step. Now we're going to look at this step in which,

-

-5

-00:00:10,340 --> 00:00:13,290

-once we have identified the values of interest, we

-

-6

-00:00:13,290 --> 00:00:18,110

-derive test case specifications for these values, or using these

-

-7

-00:00:18,110 --> 00:00:21,300

-values. And the test case specification defines how the

-

-8

-00:00:21,300 --> 00:00:25,230

-values should be put together when actually testing the system.

-

-9

-00:00:25,230 --> 00:00:29,110

-And test case specification describe how these values should be put

-

-10

-00:00:29,110 --> 00:00:32,360

-together when testing the system. So let me go back one more

-

-11

-00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,780

-time to our split program, so that we can use the

-

-12

-00:00:34,780 --> 00:00:37,450

-information that we already computed. At this point what we have is

-

-13

-00:00:37,450 --> 00:00:41,670

-some possible inputs for "string," our first parameter, and for "size,"

-

-14

-00:00:41,670 --> 00:00:44,410

-our second parameter. And we want to put them together, to generate

-

-15

-00:00:44,410 --> 00:00:47,080

-the description of what the test case should be. So let

-

-16

-00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,420

-me once more rearrange this a little bit. I first remove the

-

-17

-00:00:50,420 --> 00:00:53,360

-description of the subdomains, because we won't use them in this step.

-

-18

-00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,800

-And I moved out the set of all our possible inputs, that we're

-

-19

-00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,470

-going to combine to create the test case specification. And one possible way

-

-20

-00:00:59,470 --> 00:01:03,320

-of doing that is simply to combine the values for the first parameter,

-

-21

-00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,370

-and the values for the second parameter. So the Cartesian product. So

-

-22

-00:01:06,370 --> 00:01:09,060

-if we do that, what we will obtain is, for example, if we

-

-23

-00:01:09,060 --> 00:01:12,470

-consider the first possible input, size is equal to minus 1, we can

-

-24

-00:01:12,470 --> 00:01:15,510

-combine it with these two possible inputs for string, and we will get

-

-25

-00:01:15,510 --> 00:01:18,680

-size is equal to minus 1 string with length minus 2, or

-

-26

-00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,680

-size is equal to minus 1 string with length minus 1. And we'll

-

-27

-00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,200

-go back in a second to see what this means. Now if we

-

-28

-00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,510

-consider the second possible value for size, size is equal to one, we

-

-29

-00:01:27,510 --> 00:01:30,260

-also have two cases so the first one in this case that will

-

-30

-00:01:30,260 --> 00:01:34,030

-be considered a string with length zero. So the antistring. And we can

-

-31

-00:01:34,030 --> 00:01:37,410

-continue combining this value, but one thing I want to point out is

-

-32

-00:01:37,410 --> 00:01:40,570

-that if we just go in this straight forward and brute force sort

-

-33

-00:01:40,570 --> 00:01:43,390

-of way, we will obtain many combinations that don't make any sense,

-

-34

-00:01:43,390 --> 00:01:46,500

-like for example, this combination which doesn't make any sense because we can

-

-35

-00:01:46,500 --> 00:01:50,410

-not create the string with length minus 2. Similar for this combination, because

-

-36

-00:01:50,410 --> 00:01:53,190

-then by the same token, we cannot raise things with length minus 1.

-

-37

-00:01:53,190 --> 00:01:55,730

-And so there's a lot of cases that we will have to eliminate

-

-38

-00:01:55,730 --> 00:01:59,380

-afterwards. So what we're going to see in a few minutes is a possible

-

-39

-00:01:59,380 --> 00:02:02,970

-way in which we can avoid producing these meaningless cases. And at the

-

-40

-00:02:02,970 --> 00:02:06,380

-same time, keep under control, the number of test cases that we generate.

-

-41

-00:02:06,380 --> 00:02:09,070

-So lets go back for the last time to our steps

-

-42

-00:02:09,070 --> 00:02:11,980

-for systematic functional testing. What we just did was to derive

-

-43

-00:02:11,980 --> 00:02:15,040

-test case specification from a set of relevant inputs. The following

-

-44

-00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,420

-step is to use these test case specifications to generate actual test

-

-45

-00:02:18,420 --> 00:02:21,170

-cases. And this is normally a fairly mechanical step in the

-

-46

-00:02:21,170 --> 00:02:23,900

-sense that we just have to instantiate what is in the test

-

-47

-00:02:23,900 --> 00:02:27,970

-case specification as actual test cases. And it's really dependent on

-

-48

-00:02:27,970 --> 00:02:32,300

-the specific type of partitions and values identified on the specific context.

-

-49

-00:02:32,300 --> 00:02:35,100

-So instead of looking at that here in the, in the abstract,

-

-50

-00:02:35,100 --> 00:02:37,480

-I'm going to show you with an example later on, in the lesson.
