I’m a bit confused about the white box testing reference in option D; I thought boundary value testing was more for black box testing scenarios.

I feel like I’ve seen questions about this before, and I think boundary value testing is more about the edges rather than combinations of inputs.

I remember that boundary value testing focuses on testing just above and below the limits, so I think option B sounds right.

Okay, I think I got this. Boundary value testing is about testing the values right at the edges of the input and output ranges, not just the normal valid values in the middle. That's different from equivalence partitioning, which is about testing representative values from each input/output class.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. I know boundary value testing has something to do with checking the limits, but I'm not sure how it compares to equivalence partitioning.

Boundary value testing sounds like a good strategy to make sure the system handles edge cases properly. I'll make sure to review that concept before the exam.

Regarding option D, I seem to recall our last practice question mentioned that continuity isn't always guaranteed when outsourcing, so that makes me hesitant.
