Automatic recognition of decimal places
The value neighbouring the upper or lower boundary value is defined by the largest number of decimal places found at the numerical value of an interval. The following options are available when specifying decimal places:
Interval entry |
Meaning |
|---|---|
] 10,000.00 : 100,000.00 [ |
means an interval 10,000.01 – 99,999.99 |
] 10,000.00 : 100,000 [ |
also means an interval 10,000.01 – 99,999.99 given the fact that two decimal places have been specified at the lower boundary value |
] 10,000.00 : 100,000.500 [ |
means an interval 10,000.001 – 100,100.499 given the fact that three decimal places have been specified at the upper boundary value |
LF‑ET can determine boundary values of intervals with interval notation and definition of accuracy and thus support the test design process "boundary value analysis". During generation of test cases the test analyst can additionally have test cases created with boundary values.
