A form accepts dates from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020. How can equivalence partitioning be combined with boundary value analysis for testing?

AIgnore boundary dates and test mid-year dates only

BTest only random dates within the year

CTest only invalid dates outside the year

DCreate partitions for valid dates and invalid dates, then test boundary dates like Jan 1 and Dec 31

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Define equivalence partitions
Partition inputs into valid dates (within 2020) and invalid dates (outside 2020).
Step 2: Apply boundary value analysis
Test boundary dates like January 1 and December 31 to check edge behavior.
Final Answer:
Create partitions for valid dates and invalid dates, then test boundary dates like Jan 1 and Dec 31 -> Option D
Quick Check:
Combine partitions with boundary tests for thorough coverage [OK]

Quick Trick: Use partitions plus boundary values for better tests [OK]

Common Mistakes:

MISTAKES

Ignoring boundary dates
Testing only random dates
Not separating valid and invalid inputs
