1 BOUNDARY TESTS 2 ============== 3 It is sometimes useful to test parameter boundaries as part of API testing. 4 In the POSIX Test Suite Framework, variables cannot be assigned to values that 5 would cause warnings (because warnings are treated as errors), so the following 6 list of boundary values has been created for boundary testing. 7 8 These boundary values are those values that the gcc compiler would set an 9 invalid parameter to during compile time: 10 11 INT32_MAX+1 -2147483647 (gcc compiler gave -2147483648) 12 INT32_MIN-1 2147483647 13 unassigned val -1073743192 14 unassigned val 1075002478 15 16 Potentially the MAX+1/MIN-1 values are deterministic. The others are just 17 empirical examples. 18 19 Contributors: julie.n.fleischer REMOVE-THIS AT intel DOT com 20 geoffrey.r.gustafson REMOVE-THIS AT intel DOT com 21
