Ans. As given conditions:

c1. 1 ≤ a ≤ 200 (top)

3. Consider a program for the classification of a triangle. Its input is a triple of positive integers
(say, a, b and c) from the interval [1, 100]. The output may be one of the following words
[scalene, Isosceles, Equilateral, Not a triangle]. Create equivalence classes and design weak
normal, strong normal, weak robust and strong robust test cases accordingly

Ans. The Equilateral classes are as follows:

 Equilateral
 Scalene
 Isosceles
 Not a Triangle

4. Consider the quadrilateral problem given in chapter 2 (Section 2.6.1 page 30). Create
equivalence classes and design weak normal, strong normal, weak robust and strong robust test
cases accordingly

There are 7 equivalence classes for quadrilateral problem

 Square / Rhombus
 Kite
 Quadrilateral
 Rectangle / Parallelogram
 Trapezoid

Square and Rhombus are combined because its all sides are equal.

Rectangle and Parallelogram are combined because (a = c & b = d)

5. If you use a compiler for a strongly typed language, discuss how it would react to robust
equivalence class test cases

Ans. A compiler for a strongly typed language would react to robust equivalence class test cases by
ensuring that the code is correctly typed and that the data is of the correct type for the operations it is
being used for. It would also ensure that the code adheres to the language’s syntax rules, and that any
data being used has the correct structure and format. In addition, it would also check that any function
calls or API calls are valid and that the parameters being passed in are of the correct type and format.
Finally, it would ensure that any loop conditions are valid, and that any branching logic is valid as well.

6. Consider the following problem and determine how you can perform the black box testing for
this problem. Create the test case using appropriate test design technique. Also give the
reasoning for the chosen technique.

Ans. I will use decision table design technique. Because in this statement there are some conditions, So I
will use decision table technique.

Following conditions are as follows:

 Matric ≥ 90 %
 Inter ≥ 90 %
 Admission Test ≥ 90 %
 Marks 90 % ≤ 85 %
 Need base
 Kinship

7. If you use a compiler for a strongly typed language, discuss how it would react to robust
equivalence class test cases

Mon 1 = {m: month has 30 days}

Mon 2 = {m: month has 31 days}

Mon 3 = {m: February Month}

…….

Year 1 = {y: year is leap year}

Year 2 = {y: not a leap year}

8. Determine equivalence classes for Previous Date program, make a decision-table and specify
the test cases.

Mon 1 = {m: month of 30 days}

Mon 2 = {m: month of 31 days}

Mon 3 = {m: month is January}

Mon 4 = {m: month is march}

Day 1 = {d: day between 2 ≤ 31}

Day2 = {d: day is 1}

Year 1 = {y: Leap year}

Year 2 = {y: Not a leap year}
