    So , the software testing doesnot show the absence of defects it shows the presence of defects and reduces the risk of failure. All the possible input and output combinations are tested. It is suited when the project size is small but not for big projects, it can be time consuming and impossible. A better option is to prioritize the risk areas, instead of doing exhaustive testing.

    Statement Coverage Testing – It is a type of white box testing. Also known as line or segment coverage testing.
    In statement coverage testing , the lines of statement is tested when executing the code or programs. To achieve 100% statement coverage , all the lines of the code have to be tested. The developers do this type of testing. The main disadvantage in type of testing is it cannot test the false conditions. Only the true conditions are tested.

    Gamma Testing: Gamma testing is done when the software is ready for release with specified requirements. It is done at the client place. It is done directly by skipping all the in-house testing activities.

    Equivalence partitioning testing: Equivalence Partitioning is also known as Equivalence Class Partitioning. In equivalence partitioning, inputs to the software or system are divided into groups that are expected to exhibit similar behavior, so they are likely to be proposed in the same way. Hence selecting one input from each group to design the test cases.

    Boundary value analysis testing: Boundary value analysis (BVA) is based on testing the boundary values of valid and invalid partitions. The Behavior at the edge of each equivalence partition is more likely to be incorrect than the behavior within the partition, so boundaries are an area where testing is likely to yield defects. Every partition has its maximum and minimum values and these maximum and minimum values are the boundary values of a partition. A boundary value for a valid partition is a valid boundary value. Similarly, a boundary value for an invalid partition is an invalid boundary value.

    Equivalence partitioning testing: Equivalence Partitioning is also known as Equivalence Class Partitioning. In equivalence partitioning, inputs to the software or system are divided into groups that are expected to exhibit similar behavior, so they are likely to be proposed in the same way. Hence selecting one input from each group to design the test cases.
