State Transition Testing

Ensures the system responds correctly to changes in state.

Discreet application states and the transitions and values that are sent when changing state must be documented.

Guard conditions

Conditions that must be satisfied in order for a state transition to occur.

State table

Mirrors the functions of a state transition diagram, with rows symbolizing the states while the columns depict events, including guard conditions.

Coverage criteria

• Specific conditions and combinations of transitions that need to be tested to ensure adequate coverage.
• Involves defining all possible states and transitions, both valid and invalid.

The corresponding state transition table lists all the test case combinations that have a state starting point.
