You want to use error guessing to test a calculator app. Which combination of inputs is best to find errors?
AVery large numbers, zero, and dividing by zero
BRandom letters instead of numbers
COnly positive integers
DNormal numbers like 5 + 3, 10 - 2
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Identify error-prone inputs for calculator

    Calculators often fail with large numbers, zero, or division by zero.
  2. Step 2: Evaluate options for error guessing effectiveness

    Very large numbers, zero, and dividing by zero targets these error-prone inputs, while others do not or are invalid inputs.
  3. Final Answer:

    Very large numbers, zero, and dividing by zero -> Option A
  4. Quick Check:

    Edge and invalid inputs = Best error guesses [OK]
Quick Trick: Test edge cases and invalid inputs for errors [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Testing only normal inputs
  • Ignoring division by zero errors
  • Using completely invalid inputs without context
