Hi All

Can anyone please tell me about Cause-Effect graph?

Close ... just need to add more of the basic cause-effect boolean graph symbols: your graph only depicted identity functions; needed:

• '^' : for "and"
• 'V' : for "or"
• '~' : for "not"

Hi all ,

Just wanted to add few more details...

Cause-Effect is synonymous with creating Decision-table technique,which itself an dynamic testing approach.This method is associated with logical diagramming approach called "cause-effect Graphing " that sometimes help to conclude decision table. It provides a systemetic way to state complex Business rules.

Thanks

Hi All,
Cause-effect table is similar with decision table. It is a dynamic approach of testing. It is applied when different combination of inputs results in different actions being taken. It helps the job more easier. It is helpful for both testers as well as developers. It helps to finding the problems and ambiguity in the specification.

Thanks

Hi All
Decision table technique is sometime called as cause effect table.These are based on business logics or Business rules rather than user interfaces.This is a type of black box testing technique.
Cause effect graph is a graphical representation of inputs and(or) causes with the associated output.
It can also be treated as the diagram to derive test cases.This graph organises and possibly show all possible root causes of associated outcome.

Hi,

Cause-Effect graph is graphical representation of inputs to there respective outputs which help us design test cases comfortably.
