Automation can cer tainly help facilitate running all scenarios\, but it isn't always possi ble or practical to create a completely automated test suite. This lunch time presentation is ideal for the QA Engineer who is trying create a d ata set and complimentary set of test cases that accurately validates th e code without having to run through a seemingly endless matrix of possi bilities. \;\n \;\nWhen making an analysis of the behavior of a sy stem that is based on a large set of data\, you have basically three opt ions presented: Full data-set analysis\, Analysis of a randomly sampled subset of the data\, or Selection of a subset of data based on Equivalen ce Class Elimination. \;\n \;\nIn this presentation we will talk a bout the pro's and con's of each approach\, and then focus on how to pro ceed with the Equivalence Class methodology in greater detail. Please jo in us for this informative and interactive discussion followed by a Q&am p\;A session. \;\n\n\nTags: qa\, database testing\, networking\, saop dx\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250459666 URL:http://www.sao.org/events/event_details.asp?id=142068 SUMMARY:Database Testing: Maximum Coverage with a Minimum of Data LOCATION:Kells Irish Restaurant & Pub: 112 Sw 2nd Ave\, Portland OR 97204 US SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
