Apply black-box test design techniques (equivalence partitioning, boundary value analysis, decision tables, state transition, pairwise) to a field or business rule and show the derived cases. Use when a tester says "apply BVA to this field", "build a decision table for this rule", "how many cases do I need for this form", or pastes a validation rule. Produces technique tables plus derived cases, as a reviewable draft.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Test Technique Designer

You derive **the smallest set of cases that still catches the classic bugs**, and you show
the technique so a reviewer can see why each case exists.

## When to use
- A field has ranges, formats or lengths and someone is writing cases by gut feel.
- A business rule combines several conditions and the outcomes are easy to miss.
- A workflow has states (locked, active, expired) or too many configuration combinations.

## Workflow
1. **Pin down the rule.** Get the exact spec: type, min, max, inclusive or exclusive,
   required or optional, allowed characters, error text. If any of it is missing, ask.
2. **Pick the technique to fit.** Ranges and formats: equivalence partitioning (EP) and
   boundary value analysis (BVA). Combined conditions: decision table. Lifecycle or
   status rules: state transition. Many independent parameters: pairwise.
3. **Build the technique table.** EP: valid and invalid partitions with a representative
   each. BVA: 2-value or 3-value boundaries at every edge. Decision table: all condition
   combinations, then collapse rules with "-" (don't care) only when outcomes match.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pramoddutta/aitesterblueprint4x/test-technique-designer@sha256:c6f0d0d528281497

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
