You mean the debugging Software?

Kind regards,

If u want to develop test cases for ur program then u can follow the following way
1)First u have to do white-box testing
2)Then u have to do black-box testing
3)In white-box
3.1)U have to have some boundary test cases
3.2)U have to have some equivalence test cases
3.3)Then comes for-all testing

Hope this helps u

No, I have to develop something called a test case in class for an algorithm I wrote, but I am not sure what it is. I searched the internet for examples and answers to my question, but I do not get much. Also, it is not in my textbook. It is not software that I am looking for though... I am sure of that. thanks

Raghuram,

I am not sure if this answers my question. I am leaving for class shortly, and I am sure the teacher will explain more throughly about Test Classes. He just gave the assignment as we walked out the door the other day, and I am pretty sure it is not graded.

You did give me some insight though on what he might be looking for, and I really appreciate you trying to help! Thanks again -

When I did test cases for my programs, I basically made a list of places where my program depended on user input. Then I decided what possible inputs I could try for each of these spots. Finally, I tried every combination of these inputs to see if the program behaved as I expected it to. (And yes, it was quite a lot of combinations). This will determine whether or not your program will run under a wide variety (if not all) of conditions.

Gannon,

I appreciate your help. My group ended up using an if statement to print out the three numbers on the screen that we wanted in a sequence if it matched the expression being checked(x<y<z). This let us see if the numbers were in order. If it did not match the expression, we printed a failure statement onto the screen. We were the only group with a test case, and our teacher approved of it. Thanks Again For Your Help!!!!
