From the software testers point of view it is very important to verify that the software performs its basic functions as per the requirements. In this testing tester always check for only valid set of input values and verifies if software under test or application behaves as expected with its expected output values. The main goal of positive testing is to check whether software application  is not showing  an error when it is not supposed to  and showing an error  or warning when it is supposed to. Positive Testing always tries to prove that a given product or software always meets the requirements and specifications.

Techniques used for Positive validation of testing are:

  •  Boundary Value Analysis

  •  Equivalence Partitioning


Example:

  • Phone number: ” Phone number should be numeric” Test using numeric values, number of characters. Etc.

  • Age: “Age should be greater than 0 or Age should be numeric: depending on specifications.

  • Zip Code: Zip code can be numeric or alpha numeric depending on location.
