 DEVELOPING AND TESTING THE PROGRAM FOR
ABSOLUTE LETTER GRADING PATH TESTING

OBJECTIVE OF TASK:
To Design, develop, code and run the program in any suitable language to
implement an absolute letter grading procedure, making suitable assumptions.
Determine the basis paths and using them derive different test cases, execute these
test cases and discuss the test results

METHODOLOGY PROPOSED:
Performing black box tests require you to follow a certain approach. The following
list gives you an overview of the general steps that need to be performed:

• Examine and understand the requirements and specifications of the software

application
• Identify valid and invalid inputs with expected outputs in order to check that
the system detects them properly
• Create test cases with different test scenarios and inputs
• Execute the test cases
• Verify the expected outcomes with the actual outcomes
• Fix errors from failed test cases
• Retest the application to ensure fixed bugs are not recurring

To write an effective test case use the following steps

1. Keep things simple and transparent.
2. Make test cases reusable.
3. Keep test case IDs unique.
4. Peer review is important.
5. Test cases should have the end user or defined requirements in mind.
6. Specify expected results and assumptions.

6
Efficiency testing tests the number of test cases executed divided by the unit of
time. The unit of time is generally in hrs. It tests the measure of code and the
testing resources that are required by an application to perform a specific function.

CODING:

int main()

else if(per>=80 && per<90) grade ='B';
else if(per>=70 && per<80) grade ='C';
else if(per>=60 && per<70) grade='D';
else grade='E';
switch(grade)
{
case 'A': printf("\nEXCELLENT"); break;
case 'B':printf("\nVery Good"); break;
case 'C' : printf("\nGood"); break;
case 'D': printf("\nAbove Average"); break;
case 'E': printf("\n Satisfactory"); break;
}
printf("\t The percentage = %f and grade is %c ",per,grade);
return 0;
