Abstract

Testing is done to find out any errors in the applications and to ensure that they are fit for use. Ordinarily, teams put in their best efforts to find and fix as many bugs as possible. Sometimes due to factors such as lack of exhaustive test cases & build deadlines extensive testing is not done. Also, missing test cases in terms of complex systems due to human errors is very much possible. The post production errors are not catastrophic when the applications are meant for non-critical purposes. But, in life critical applications such as aerospace & medicine, fully comprehensive testing needs to be performed. The success of stopping a bug leakage in release phase depends considerably on the test cases used to perform the testing. Effective set of test cases should be designed to enable detection of maximum number of errors. This paper proposes Test Matrix technique & Truth Table techniques as profound testing mechanisms for complex test flows and inputs.
