Advantages of State Transition Testing
- Clear Visualization: The different states and transitions in the system are clearly represented visually through the use of state transition diagrams. Better comprehension, communication and documentation of the system’s behavior are made possible by this visualization.
- Effective Test Design: Effective test case design is facilitated by the modelling of states and transitions. Based on the state transition diagram, testers can create test scenarios that encompass both legitimate and illegitimate state changes.
- Early Error Detection: Early fault discovery in relation to state transitions is aided by state transition testing. Testers can detect and fix problems early in the development life cycle by methodically testing various transitions.
State Transition Testing
State Transition Testing
is a type of software testing which is performed to check the change in the state of the application under varying input. The condition of input passed is changed and the change in state is observed. State Transition Testing is basically a black box testing technique that is carried out to observe the behavior of the system or application for different input conditions passed in a sequence. In this type of testing, both positive and negative input values are provided and the behavior of the system is observed. State Transition Testing is basically used where different system transitions are needed to be tested.
