Answer / sravanthi
Preparing proper test data is a core part of “project test
environment setup”. Tester cannot pass the bug
responsibility saying that complete data was not available
for testing. Tester should create his/her own test data
additional to the existing standard production data. Your
test data set should be ideal in terms of cost and time.
Design our test data considering following categories:
Test data set examples:
1) No data: Run your test cases on blank or default data.
See if proper error messages are generated.
2) Valid data set: Create it to check if application is
functioning as per requirements and valid input data is
properly saved in database or files.
3) Invalid data set: Prepare invalid data set to check
application behavior for negative values, alphanumeric
string inputs.
4) Illegal data format: Make one data set of illegal data
format. System should not accept data in invalid or illegal
format. Also check proper error messages are generated.
5) Boundary Condition data set: Data set containing out of
range data. Identify application boundary cases and prepare
data set that will cover lower as well as upper boundary
conditions.
6) Data set for performance, load and stress testing: This
data set should be large in volume.
This way creating separate data sets for each test
condition will ensure complete test coverage.

Answer / raghu.
Preparing Test data is very important before we execute the
test cases. Test data must be created for each and every
test cases. Test data can be prepared with the knowledge of
Boundary Value Analysis and equivalence class partition.
Ex: The test data for customer name field with the
condition such as 5 to 15 chars and no special symbols
would be
Boundary Value Analysis:
min i.e 5 chars: arthu result: system should accept
min-1 ie 4 chars: qwer, result: should prompt error message.
max ie 15 chars: qwertyuioplkjhg : system should accept.
max+1 ie 16 chars: qwedsafgtrfdsert: system should prompt
error message.
Equivalence class partition:
include all the special symbols or numbers in the middle.:
system should prompt error message.

Answer / mfsi_chinmayb`
Hi
Test data is simply the data which is affected or affects
the system or component.Hence we need to filter out the test
data to forbid the term exhaustive testing.So we can
implement different test techniques like Equivalent
partitioning or boundary value analysis etc

Answer / narender lella
we can prepare the test data by performing the actions on application, Here we give the input for every functionality's and when we don't need to enter input data that is like documentary testing which is no input data,nothing logic here as like as end user, we perform actions here , test data means testing data by giving input to all fields, and here we take it as reference document.
