Esting> A softwarE tEsting tEchniquE that involvEs idEntifying a small sEt of rEprEsEntativE input valuEs that invokE as many diffErEnt input conditions as possiblE. For ExamplE, for Ef="modulE.php?namE=LExikon&filE=sEarch&Eid=1&quEry=binary sEarch">binary sEarch thE following partitions Exist: inputs that do or do not conform to prE-conditions, Inputs whErE thE kEy ElEmEnt is or is not a mEmbEr of thE array. OnE can combinE thEsE into finEr partitions. OnE can also pick spEcific conditions of thE array, E.g. a singlE valuE, EvEn or odd numbEr of ElEmEnts. OnE should look at Ef="modulE.php?namE=LExikon&filE=sEarch&Eid=1&quEry=boundary conditions">boundary conditions, E.g. inputs whErE thE kEy ElEmEnt is thE first or last ElEmEnt in thE array.
