The smallest set of test conditions to provide minimum coverage of the boundary values is the one that tests the minimum and maximum values for each category of carpet installation prices, as well as the values that are just above or below the boundaries. Option A covers these values, as it tests the boundary values of 0, 20, and 40 square yards, as well as the values that are one square yard more or less than these boundaries. It also tests the maximum possible value for the carpet area and the value that exceeds it. The other options do not test all the boundary values or have redundant values. References =

A usability review is a technique that evaluates the usability of a system or product based on a set of criteria or heuristics, without involving the actual users. It can be performed by experts or peers, and it can identify potential usability problems and suggest improvements. A usability review is suitable for situations where the availability of users is limited or impractical, and it can provide quick and low-costfeedback. References = ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level Syllabus Technical Test Analyst, page 81, section 5.3.2.2.

Classification trees are a visual way of identifying test objects and data, and pairwise testing is a technique of generating test cases that cover all possible pairs of values from different classifications. Classification trees support pairwise testing by:

• Helping to identify inputs to be used by the pairwise test technique, as each class represents a possible value for a test parameter.
• Showing the combinations needed to cover all-pairs, as each test case is a selection of one class from each classification.
• Helping to identify particular combinations of interest, as the test engineer can use the tree structure to group or prioritize classes based on their relevance or risk. References = ISTQB Advanced Level Test Analyst Syllabus 2019, section 3.2.3; Smarter Test Design with Classification Trees and Pairwise Techniques, slides 6-12.
