TLDR The video discusses various test design techniques, including black box testing, white box testing, and experience-based techniques, and provides tips for creating efficient test cases for maximum coverage.

Key insights

💡

The objective of test techniques is to create minimum and efficient test cases for maximum coverage, which can also help with traceability between requirements and test cases.
📈

Determining the percentage of coverage achieved in testing can be challenging, but it is important to measure to ensure thorough testing.
💡

Experience-based testing techniques can be valuable when requirements are unclear or when the team lacks formal testing training.
