Generalized testing will have infinite combinations. so to reduce the combinations, we will take a definite string and we will test that string with all possible regular exp combination (assumption is only ? and * are used)

Better to take a medium length string (not so big and not so small)
Panic is a good word.

So the number of letters is 5.

P????
Pa???
Pan??
Pani?
?????

P*
Pa*
Pan*
Pani*
*

?anic
??nic
???ic
????c

*anic
*nic
*ic
*c

So 18 test cases are enough to test this string.
If you want we can change the string panic with more complex words (a five letter word with numbers and spl characters) and check.
It should be data driven testing.

Equivlence class partioning is nothing but more the number of input is passed but minimising the test cases has to be written


for the above case Kindly undergo the following :

1.adcd - positive test below 20 characters
2.abcdefghijklmnopqrstw - Negative testing above 20 characters
3.adcd_gh - positive testing 
4.abcd.hj - Negative testing

Enter the following:

- no alpha chars or hyphens
- 1 alpha char
- 1 hyphen
- 1 alpha char and 1 hyphen
- combination of (max - 1) alpha chars and hyphens
- combination of max alpha chars and hyphens
- combination of (max + 1) alpha chars and hyphens
- string of (max - 1) common symbols besides hyphens
- string of integers from 0 through 9
