Partition Testing
TechniquePartition Testing is a functional software testing technique based on subdividing the input domain of a system under test into sub-domains (partitions), under the assumption that inputs within the same sub-domain exercise similar behavior. Representative inputs are selected from each sub-domain to construct test cases. The technique has been formalized and analyzed in the literature (notably by Weyuker and Jeng, 1991, building on the revealing-subdomains theory of Weyuker and Ostrand, 1980), and modern variants such as Category-Partition Testing extend it with parameter categories, choices, and constraints, while LLM-based approaches (e.g., LISP, 2024) leverage large language models to automate input space partitioning for library APIs.

Partition Testing
Definition
Partition Testing is a functional software testing technique founded on the idea that the input domain of a system under test (SUT) can be divided into sub-domains, with the assumption that inputs belonging to the same sub-domain trigger similar behavior, and that it is therefore sufficient to select one (or a small number of) input(s) from each sub-domain to exercise the SUT's behavior systematically [arXiv:2601.12559v1].
