Error Guessing

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   The purpose of error guessing is to focus the testing activity on areas that have not been handled by the other more formal techniques, such as equivalence partitioning and boundary value analysis.  Error guessing is the process of making an educated guess as to other types of areas to be tested. 

For example, educated guesses can be based on items such as metrics from past testing experiences, or the tester's identification of situations in the Functional Design Specification or Detailed Design Specification, that are not addressed clearly.
