RE: Boundary Value

Instead of checking each and every possible value we check the boundary values only.
For eg if the login id has to accept only 6 to 11 alphabets only.
Then we check this instance by applying the values like
6-1 5 alphabets --- it should fail
6------------pass
7----------- pass
11------------pass
11+1 12-------fail
ie. min-1 max+1 should fail middle of the values should pass. this is boundary value analysis(BVA)

RE: Boundary Value

Testing application with some boundary values

i.e

Before the value

Beyound the Value

there are three types of inputs for an module

i.e

Entering the values before the current and correct value

accurate input value

beyound the value

RE: Boundary Value

Boundary Values for any field should be consider with

Minimum value -1 Minimum value Minimum value +1
Middle value
Maxmium value -1 Maxmium value Maxmium value +1

so for your questions - password field if the mimimum value is 4 and max is 10
then the parameters are

3 4 5 - for Minimum value
7 - for middle value
9 10 11 - for Maxmium value

Please suggest me if I am wrong

RE: Boundary Value

Password Min and Max length should be specify in the requirements.

If more than 6 characters the password should good.
If the characters is the combination of alpha characters with special symbols then the password is strong.

RE: Boundary Value

Hi Kumsan060

I think there is no particular number fixed for Max And Min length password It depends upon the User perspective using the product We can fix that number To test this type of fields there is a tool called TestersDesk Normally We can test the Boundary Value For one instance at one time But the Specialization of this tool is We can test the Several instances at single time

RE: Boundary Value

It is nothing but testing the input at the bounded input of the test condition

i.e if we want to test of 4 to 9 means the test data should be 3 4 9 10

Is this answer useful? Yes | No

RE: Boundary Value

This should be in the [Design] Specs - but it may be the case that the Password may also be case-sensitive and/or need a number(s) too - for example "Password" would be allowed but "password" wouldn't - or the the password may need to be "Password10" etc.
I'd also recommend not having a password of "Password" case sensitive or not! Indeed these types of words may be barred.
Apologies as I realise my answer comes out of the boundaries (no pun intended) of Boundary Value but I thought it may be of some use / get some fellow testing brains thinking :)

RE: Boundary Value

Generally standard length of the password field is:
Min- 6 characters
Max- 12 characters

So if we consider this as password field limit then we apply boundary value like this:

min-1 min max max+1

i.e. we will test password containing 5 6 12 13 characters.
