Thread: where to use B.V.A and where to use ECP for the same date,month,year input field

Hi to all,
Consider the scenario
for D.O.Birth input should be within the range 01/01/2000 to 01/01/3000.
for this task, where i have to use (for which parts) B.V.A and where i have to use ECP. Expecting a clear reply.
and also tell me Does BVA is equivalent to ECP?
Thanks in advance

Hi

Can you throw some light on ECP by expanding it?

Regarding the Boundary value analysis the testing will be done as:

On the Boundary: 01/01/2000 and 01/01/3000
Here the testing should pass

Below the Boundary: Values less than 01/01/2000
Here the testing should Fail

Above the Boundary: Values greater than 01/01/3000
Here the testing should Fail

BVA (Boundary Value Analysis)
First BVA for DOB input should be 01/01/2000 to Current date.Bcoz DOB cannot be future date.
So BVA would be
Min 01/01/2000 -- Pass
Min-1 31/12/1999 --Fail
Min+1 02/01/2000 --Pass
Max Current Date --Pass
Max-1 Current Date -1 --Pass
Max+1 CurrentDate+1 --Fail

ECP(Equvalence Class Partitioning)

1.Valid Dates between 01/01/2000 to Current Date --Pass
2.Invalid Dates between 01/01/2000 to Current Date --Fail .
E.g Dates without proper format (MM/DD/YYYY)
3.Invalid Date 01/01/2000 to Current Date --Fail
E.g. No of Days for Month having 31 days,Febraury Month with 30 and 31 and 29th Feb for non leap year
