Good point, Sarah. I think the key is to identify the minimum set of test conditions that would cover all the equivalence classes. So we don't necessarily need to test every single boundary value, as long as we cover the different partitions.

B is the answer, no doubt. Anything less and you're just asking for trouble. Though I do wonder if the developers were high when they decided on the 3-list limit. Must be some serious grocery hauls going on!

I'm thinking option C is the way to go. Why test for 51 items when the max is 50? And 7 lists saved? That's just overkill.

Testing for 7 saved lists is unnecessary.

Yeah, testing for 51 items doesn't make sense when the max is 50.

Option B for sure! Gotta test those extremes, you know? Can't have any 'oops, my app crashed because I tried to save 4 lists' moments.

Let's go with Option B then, it seems like the most comprehensive choice for testing the app.

Definitely, we need to make sure the app can handle saving different numbers of lists and items.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'd go with option B - it seems to cover all the edge cases, including the valid range of list items and the max number of saved lists.
