+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.
