“…It is important to point out that this paper does not focus on individual testing techniques that can be used within the testing process. For example, common testing techniques in ST for black‐box testing include, boundary value analysis , equivalence partitioning , and decision tables . For ST, the commonly used white‐box testing techniques include decision coverage , path coverage , multiple condition/decision coverage (MC/DC) , and data flow coverage .…”

SUMMARY Given the current state of the art in research, practitioners are faced with the challenge of choosing scripted testing (ST) or exploratory testing (ET). This study aims at systematically incorporating strengths of ET and ST in a hybrid testing process to overcome the weaknesses of each. We utilized systematic review and practitioner interviews to identify strengths and weaknesses of ET and ST. Strengths of ET were mapped to weaknesses of ST and vice versa. Noblit and Hare's lines‐of‐argument method was used for data analysis. The results of the mapping were used as input to codesign a hybrid process with experienced practitioners. We found a clear need to create a hybrid process as follows: (i) both ST and ET provide strengths and weaknesses, and these depend on some particular conditions, which prevents preference of one approach to another; and (ii) the mapping showed that it is possible to address the weaknesses in one process by the strengths of the other in a hybrid form. With the input from literature and industry experts, a flexible and iterative hybrid process was designed. Practitioners can clearly benefit from using a hybrid process given the mapping of advantages and disadvantages. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…As for the model library  , we may set the library as an open frame and firstly put some typical models into the library, such as the linear regression model, the non-linear model, the time series model [5] (AR, MA, ARMA, ARX, ARXMA, etc), the polynomial model and the dynamicmeasurement model [8] for continuous variable dynamic system and the Petri net model, the automaton model, and Markov chain model for discrete event dynamic model. When the library being used, open frame can be helpful to update and to add new models into the library  on-line.…”

Abstract. To test the boundary values of input variables is very useful but difficult when designing and debugging a software system for scientific computations. In this paper, the model-based method and the simulation-based method are integrated to form a practical approach to deal with this troublesome problem of boundary testing. After selectively building a model library, the testing algorithms are designed in detail are used in designing and evaluating the systems for exterior tracking and post processing of measurement data.

“…Equivalence class testing is based upon the assumption that a program's input and output domains can be partitioned into a finite number of (valid and invalid) classes such that all cases in a single partition exercise the same functionality or exhibit the same behaviour[20] [29]. The partitioning is done such that the program behaves in a similar way to every input value belonging to an equivalence class.…”

“…Equivalence class is determined by examining and analysing the input data range. Only one test case from each partition is required, which reduces the number of test cases necessary to achieve functional coverage[20] [29]. The success of this approach depends upon the tester being able to identify partitions of the input and output spaces for which, in reality, cause distinct sequences of program source code to be executed[l].…”

There are several methods for automatic test case generation has been proposed in the past. But most of these techniques are structural testing techniques that require the understanding of the internal working of the program. There is less practical coverage of all testing techniques together. In this paper we conducted a literature study on all testing techniques together that are related to both Black and White box testing techniques, moreover we assume a case situation of Insurance premium calculation for driver and we derive the test cases and test data for white box testing methods such as Branch testing, Statement testing, Condition Coverage testing, multiple condition coverage testing, in the similar way we derive the test cases and test data for the black box testing methods such as: Equivalence partitioning and Boundary value analysis. The overall aim of this literature study is to clearly explain different testing techniques along with a case situation and their advantages.
