Boundary value analysis example
De Software testing
Consider a human-resource system that decides how we should process employment applications based on a person’s age.
| Age range | Decision |
| 0 - 16 | Do not hire. |
| 16 - 18 | Can hire on a part-time basis only. |
| 18 - 55 | Can hire as a full-time employee |
| 55 - 99 |
Looking at this specification, should we hire or not a 16-year old applicant? Both the first and second statement applies, as 16 is within the boundary of both age ranges.
