Testing of Software is an indispensible phase of software development. It helps us to improve functional and non-functional characteristics. To implement functional test scenario black box testing process is used, and the test bases are the functional requirement. Nonfunctional requirement does not describe the function, but the attribute of the function i.e function quality, usability, efficiency and reliability. To implement testing, the most difficult part is to design test cases. There are numerous processes available which can help us to design test cases. This paper will present the novel algorithm of Equivalence class partitioning. Here the input is partitioned by using a strategy that is inspired by binary search. Based on the input data, the complete range is divided into two sub ranges, and this partition continues until a threshold is reached. The proposed novel algorithm of testing will increase the reliability of the software product.
