Code

Analysis of the code It passes all the designated tests but fails for two different strings of same length ending with the same character. For example, “cut” and “rat” would results in true which is not correct. The above-mentioned defect signifies a clear limitation of the testing process in discovering a defect which is not very frequent. However, it should be noted from this example that a tester cannot generate all possible combinations of test cases to test an application as the number of scenarios may become exhaustive.

Test case and Test Data Thus a test case involves Input and output specification plus a statement of the function under test. Steps to perform the function Expected results that the software application produces Test data includes inputs that have been devised to test the system.
