Equivalence Partitioning Testing
Equivalence partitioning divides input domains into equivalence classes—sets of inputs expected to behave identically—then selects test cases from each class. Introduced by Myers (1979), this technique reduces test cases while maintaining effectiveness. Boundary value analysis (BVA) complements partitioning by testing values at partition boundaries where failures often occur.
