Equivalence PartitioningA black-box test design technique that divides input data into groups (partitions) where all values in a partition are expected to be treated the same way by the system. One representative value from each partition is selected for testing.
Boundary Value AnalysisA black-box test design technique where test cases are created using values at the edges of equivalence partitions. Defects often cluster at boundaries, making this an efficient way to find errors with minimal test cases.
