What is meant by Error Guessing?..

Answer / sirishalatha

It is a Test data selection technique. The selection
criterion is to pick values that seem likely to cause errors
Error Guessing is based mostly upon experience, with some
assistance from other techniques such as boundary value
analysis. Based on experience, the test designer guesses the
types of errors that could occur in a particular type of
software and designs test cases to uncover them.

Answer / phani

I think error guessing is like "when we do the testing if
any prob with system/application feature access/issue/bug
it will throw some errors like "script error" or "runtime
error" or "internal error" pop up's. In that pop up it will
show some message like "________ missing". BY seeing that
message we can say it will come in because of this..."

This may be the "error guessing".Please correct if i am
wrong.

Thanks,
Phani
