Systematic process of identifying a set of input conditions to be tested.The two distinct steps involved:
- Identify equivalence classes
- Identify test cases
Equivalence Partitioning technique is used to reduce the no. of test cases to an optimum no. and to select the right kind of test cases to encompass the maximum coverage.Though in very rare cases this technique is also applied to outputs of a component,typically it is applied to the inputs of a tested component.
