Abstract
The authors improve the negative results published about partition testing and try to reconcile them with its intuitively perceived value. Partition testing is shown to be more valuable than random testing only when the partitions are narrowly based on expected faults and there is a good chance of failure. For gaining confidence for successful tests, partition testing as usually practiced has little value.Keywords
