-In this case there's not really a right answer because there's - -2
-many, many features that you could identify in a piece of - -3
-software as complex as a, a spreadsheet. So I'm just going - -4
-to give you three examples. So one could be the cell merging - -5
-operation. So the operation in which we merge two cells in - -6
-the spreadsheet. Another example could be chart creation, so I might want - -7
-to test the feature that allows you to create charts in - -8
-your spreadsheets. Yet another example could - -9
-be the test of statistical functions, - -10
-so the function that allows you to do various statistical calculations on - -11
-the numbers in your cells. And as I said there's many, many - -12
-more example that we could use. But the key thing I want - -13
-to convey here is the fact that there is no way you - -14
-can look at a spreadsheet with all the functionality that it provides - -15
-and just go and test it. The first step, what you need - -16
-to do first, is to identify which ones are the pieces of - -17
-functionality that I can test individually. So that's why this is the - -18
-first step in black-box testing. -- cgit 1.4.1
