Equivalence Partitioning - answerA software testing technique that divides the input
data of a software unit into partitions of data from which test cases can be derived. In
principle, test cases are designed to cover each partition at least once. This technique
tries to define test cases that uncover classes of errors, thereby reducing the total
number of test cases that must be developed. An advantage of this approach is
reduction in the time required for testing software due to lesser number of test cases.
Exhaustive Testing - answerA test approach in which the test suite comprises all
combinations of input values and preconditions.

stop testing. [Gilb and Graham]
