boundary value analysis

   <programming> A test data selection technique in which values
   are chosen to lie along data extremes.  Boundary values
   include maximum, minimum, just inside/outside boundaries,
   typical values, and error values.  The hope is that, if a
   systems works correctly for these special values then it will
   work correctly for all values in between.
