what is positive and negative testing explian with example?
Answer Posted / cody
Positive - Checking whether the application works according
to documentation or not.
Negative - Checking whether the application does what it
should not and does not when it should.
Positive and Negative Testing is a concept. Meaning this is
a way of thinking. They should not be associated with a
specific testing technique like equivalence partitioning.
They can be used within the technique but do not replace
the technique.
Requirement:
Employee can be contacted at work from 7:30am - 5:00pm
Let's use a truth table:
Start End Test Result
Test 1 - - -
Test 2 - + -
Test 3 + - -
Test 4 + + +
Test 1:
Start - Contact Employee at 7:29am (-)
End - Contact Employee at 5:01pm (-)
Test 2:
Start - Contact Employee at 7:28am (-)
End - Contact Employee at 4:59pm (+)
Test 3:
Start - Contact Employee at 7:30am (+)
End - Contact Employee at 5:02pm (-)
Test 4:
Start - Contact Employee at 7:31am (+)
End - Contact Employee at 5:00pm (+)
I have already identified which tests are negative using
the truth table. Only test 4 is a positive test. Why? Test
4 is the only test that has valid inputs verifying the
requirement is fulfilled. The other tests are derived from
the requirement but are invalid inputs.
Feel free to e-mail me any feedback.
