What it does
Systematic test design with boundary value analysis, equivalence partitioning, decision tables, state transition testing, and combinatorial testing. Use when designing comprehensive test cases, reducing redundant tests, or ensuring systematic coverage.
Test Design Techniques
<default_to_action> When designing test cases, select technique by input type:
- Numeric ranges → BVA + EP
- Multiple conditions → Decision Tables
- Workflows → State Transition
- Many parameter combinations → Pairwise Testing </default_to_action>
Quick Reference Card
When to Use
- Designing new test suites
- Optimizing existing tests
- Complex business rules
- Reducing test redundancy
Agent-Driven Test Design
// Auto-generate BVA tests
await Task("Generate BVA Tests", {
field: 'age',
dataType: 'integer',
constraints: { min: 18, max: 120 }
}, "qe-test-generator");
// Returns: 6 boundary test cases
// Auto-generate pairwise tests
await Task("Generate Pairwise Tests", {
parameters: {
browser: ['Chrome', 'Firefox', 'Safari'],
os: ['Windows', 'Mac', 'Linux'],
screen: ['Desktop', 'Tablet', 'Mobile']
}
}, "qe-test-generator");
// Returns: 9-12 tests (vs 27 full combination)
