What is BVA?

Boundary value analysis (BVA) is a technique based on testing

to check the boundaries between partitions or the range.

Here we have both valid boundaries (in the valid partitions) and
invalid boundaries (in the invalid partitions).

When we use BVA

Boundary value analysis can be use when client
will give certain range in the application to
test.

Rule Of Boundary Value Analysis

Due to huge requirements coming from client
side, testing technique becomes more
complex, so to make it easy and comfortable
we need to follow a rule where tester have to
test in a sequence only , which is follows as:
Min

Min-1
