White Box Testing Lab Exercises

The CSC116 Software Testing materials can be found here. For the testing lab, you will be testing a program that classifies triangles based on sides and angles.

Learning Outcomes

  • Describe the purpose of testing.
  • Describe the testing process.
  • Describe how black box and white box testing differ and why each are necessary.
  • Describe the purpose of black box testing.
  • Write black box test cases in table form (Black Box Test Plan) based on program requirements.
  • Write black box test cases using equivalence classes and boundary value analysis.
  • Draw a control flow diagram for given code. Calculate the cyclomatic complexity of given code.
  • List valid path through given code using control flow diagram.
  • Write white box test cases using basis paths, equivalence classes, and boundary value analysis
  • Describe the purpose of debugging.
  • Apply debugging techniques.

Requirements

The SomewhatMoreSimplifiedSolitaire program can be used to encrypt messages. The program should prompt the user for a starting deck (of 15 cards), whether encrypting or decrypting, and the message to encrypt or decrypt.

For a full description of the program and algorithm, please see the Somewhat More Simplified Solitaire reference page
