1. Decision points

IF not in
stock THEN

IF number of

THEN extra
discount
A decision point is a a combination of one or more conditions
that define the conditions for the various possibilities in the
subsequent system behaviour.

3. IF number of
books > 8
THEN extra
discount

4. IF number of
books > 8
THEN extra
discount
Test situations
Number of books
Result

5. Test situations 1 2
Number of books >8 ≤8
Result true false
IF number of
books > 8
THEN extra
discount
Singular conditions lead to
2 test situations

6. Test situations 1 2
Number of books >8 ≤8
Result 1 0
IF number of
books > 8
THEN extra
discount
In Boolean algebra a “1” is
used to represent “true”

7. Test situations 1 2
Number of books >8 ≤8
Result 1 0
IF number of
books > 8
THEN extra
discount
In Boolean algebra a “0” is
used to represent “false”

8. Decision points may consist
of a combination of
conditions
IF number of
books > 8
OR
sum ≥ 100
THEN extra
discount
IF number of
books > 8
THEN extra
discount

9. A B
IF number of books > 8 OR sum ≥ 100 THEN extra discount

10. IF number of books > 8 OR sum ≥ 100 THEN extra discount
Abbreviated notation
A OR B

11. IF number of books > 8 AND sum ≥ 100 THEN extra
discount
IF number of books > 8 OR sum ≥ 100 THEN extra discount
Abbreviated notation
A OR B
Abbreviated notation
A AND B

The end result depends on
the operators AND and OR

With the operator OR the end
result is ONLY false when
both conditions are false
This table shows the outcome
of all situations of a full
decision tale. Such a table is
called a truth table.
