You are testing a native application for a smart phone. The application allows the user to make grocery lists on the phone and store up to three lists at a time. A list can contain up to 50 items.
Which of the following is the minimum set of test conditions to achieve 100% coverage with the equivalence partitioning test technique?
Suggested Answer: C

Not sure if 51 items is a valid test case, seems odd.

Wait, can you really save more than 3 lists?

D has too many unnecessary items, though.

I think C is missing some key cases.

Option B covers all scenarios needed.

I'm leaning towards option C, but I wonder if it really captures all the necessary scenarios for both items and lists saved.

I feel like I might have seen a question like this before, but I can't recall if we needed to test for lists over the maximum limit as well.

I think option B looks familiar because it includes both the limits for items in a list and the limits for saved lists. That seems comprehensive.

I remember we discussed equivalence partitioning in class, but I'm not sure if I covered all the edge cases for the lists saved.
AN

I'm a bit confused about the "minimum set" part. Do we need to include all the boundary values, or can we just pick a few to cover the different partitions?
EL

Yeah, that makes sense. I'd go with option B - it seems to cover the key partitions around the number of items and number of lists.
JO

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.
AL
Alyce

Testing for 7 saved lists is unnecessary.
JA
Janna

Exactly, we should prioritize testing the valid ranges and limits.
MA
Maile

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

Exactly, we should focus on the valid ranges.
LO
Louvenia

I agree, testing for 51 items doesn't make sense.
LI
Linette

I agree, option C seems more focused on the relevant test conditions.
SU

Option C seems like the most efficient choice.
SH

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.
AN

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

Option B covers all the necessary test conditions to achieve 100% coverage with equivalence partitioning.
RY
Ryann

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

I agree, testing the extremes is important to ensure the app can handle all scenarios.
AR
Ariel

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.
MA
Margarett

I agree, option B seems like the best choice for achieving 100% coverage.
TA
Tarra

I think option B covers all the necessary test conditions.
MA
Madelyn

That's a valid point, but I still think option B provides more comprehensive coverage.
MY
Myrtie
2 years ago
I disagree, I believe option C covers the key scenarios without unnecessary duplication.
MA
Madelyn

I think the minimum set of test conditions should cover all possible scenarios, so I would go with option B.
