How to break software? - 8

[Guruji]:- User interface attack # 8

Force invalid outputs to be generated

·         Similar to attack #7, but focusing on invalid outputs

·         One key ingredient is often input sequencing to generated the invalid output

·         Example:  Feb 29, 2001 possible on Windows NT date/time clock if Feb 29 selected on a valid date (leap year) then change year to 2001

User interface attack # 9

Force properties of an output to change

·         Gives testers a way to think about persistent outputs; outputs that hang around on the screen or file can be updated in ways to break the software

·         How to conduct: Set properties to one value, then try changing to something else
