Domain Testing

Domain testing involves testing all possible values within an input domain to evaluate program behavior. A domain is a set of possible input values. Domain testing can be functional, based on specifications, or structural, based on implementation. Key aspects of domain testing include: domains and paths through a program; closed and open domain boundaries; dimensionality from number of input variables; and assumptions about bugs arising from incorrect domain definitions rather than processing errors.

DOMAIN TESTING

TO PRESENTED BY
KORADA KUSA RAJU
(17131 F0020)
DOMAINS AND PATHS:
 THE MODEL
 A DOMAIN IS A SET
 DOMAINS ,PATHS And PREDICATES
 A DOMAIN CLOSURE
 DOMIAN DIMENSINALITY
 THE BUG ASSUMPTIONS
THE MODEL:
 Domain testing can be based on the specifications , or
equivalent Implementation.
 If it is based on the specification , It is a functional test
technique.
 If it is based on the implementation ,it is a structural test
technique.
 All inputs to a program can be considered as if they are
numbers.
 An invalid input (e.g., value too big ) is just a special
processing case called “ reject” .
Schematic representation of Domain Testing:
A DOMAIN IS A SET:
 An input domain is a set.
 If the source language supports set definitions (E.g. PASCAL
set types and C enumerated types).
 less testing is needed because the compiler does much of it
for us.
 Domain testing does not work well with arbitrary discrete
sets of data objects.
 Domain for a loop-free program corresponds to a set of
numbers defined over the input vector.
DOMAIN , PATHS AND PREDICATES:
DOMAIN: In mathematics , domain is a set of possible values of an
independent variable or the variables of a function.
E.g. y=sqrt(x+4)
x>=-4
PATHS: Path testing is the structural testing method that involves using
source code of a program in order to find every possible executable
paths.
PREDICATES: Predicates are expression that can be evaluated that a
Boolean values i.e., true or false.
E.g. If(a>b)
{
print(“a is large”);
}
else print(“b is large”);
 If domain testing is applied to structure, then predicate
interpretation must be based on actual paths through
the routine – that is, based on the implementation
control flowgraph.

 Conversely, if domain testing is applied to specifications,


interpretation is based on a specified data flowgraph
for the routine

 For every domain, there is at least one path through the


routine.
A DOMAIN CLOSURE:
 The domain closure is two types
1.CLOSED
2.OPEN

CLOSED: A domain boundary is closed with respect to a


domain if the points on the boundary belong to the
domain.

OPEN: If the boundary points belong to some other domain


the boundary said to be open.
OPEN AND CLOSED DOMAIN:
DOMAIN DIMENSIONALITY:
 Every input variable adds one dimension to the domain

 One variable defines the domains on a number lines

 Two variables defines the planer domains

 Three variables defines the solid domains , and so on.


THE BUG ASSUMPTIONS:
 The bug assumption for the domain testing is that
processing is okay but the domain definition is wrong.

 An incorrectly implemented domain means that


boundaries are wrong, which may in turn mean that
control flow predicates are wrong.

 Some Domain Errors are:


1.Double-zero Representation
2.Floating - point zero check
3.Contradictory Domains
