Selecting the right test technique in a given situation increases the effectiveness of the test process by creating tests with higher chance of finding bugs.

Selecting the right test technique in a given situation increases the effectiveness of the test process by creating tests with higher chance of finding bugs.

The only way to test a software application is by using well proven test techniques.

There are usually too many test cases that may be run on a system. Test techniques help reduce the number of tests.
