Test cases
BVA on Steps Inputs
Test case 1 - Expected outcome - Error Msg: Invalid input (# steps must > 1),Prompt user
Actual outcome -The program as seen above fails to prompt the user for a valid input which would be values between 2 and 120.
Test case 2 - Expected outcome - valid output
Actual outcome - valid output
Test case 3 - Expected outcome - valid output
Actual outcome - valid output
Actual outcome - valid output
Test case 5 - Expected outcome - valid output
Actual outcome - valid output
Test case 6 - Expected outcome - Error Msg: Invalid input (1 < #steps < 121),Prompt user.
Actual outcome - The program accepts 121 steps and calculates the largest difference as seen above.
BVA on Location Inputs
Test case 7 - Expected outcome - Error Msg: Invalid input (# steps must > 1),Prompt user
Actual outcome - The program should not accept values < 1 but as seen above it outputs a value.
Test case 8 - Expected outcome - Error Message: Invalid Input (must be greater than previous), Prompt User
Actual outcome - outputs a value
Test case 9- Expected outcome - valid output
Actual outcome - valid output
Test case 10 - Expected outcome - valid output
Actual outcome - valid output
Test case 11 - Expected outcome - valid output
Actual outcome - valid output
Test case 12 - Expected outcome - Error Message: Invalid Input (must be greater than previous), Prompt User
Actual outcome - The program outputs a value ignoring the repeated no.

- I first did the boundary values tests on the steps input then the location inputs
- According to the project specification the safety officer is only interested in the gaps between the steps and so is not interested in the height of the first step from the ground. Therefore the first location value doesn't require any boundary value tests.
- Boundary values for the subsequent values is evaluated using min, above min, nominal, max, above val.
