If you Google equivalence partitioning and edge case (and you know you did), you will probably see the same example over and over again. It’s a form field that takes a well defined numeric value.
Don’t get me wrong. This is a very good example. In fact, it is exactly what you’ll need if you know nothing about these techniques, and you need to understand the theory. Many people stop there. If they ever encounter this exact scenario they will properly write down the input values, according to the equivalence partitioning and edge case example. However, if the real world scenario wears a large pair of sunglasses, or maybe a wig, many people will fail to apply these helpful techniques. In real life, you have the simple cases and the complicated cases. The obvious GUI cases and the abstract cases.
Guess which ones I love…
