Experience-based test case design

Experience-based test techniques leverage the know-how and experience of testers, developers, users, and other stakeholders to design test cases, test conditions, and test data. This approach also uses knowledge of the software’s planned usage, its environment, and the probable type and location of faults in the test object. A specific degree of coverage is difficult to ascertain and therefore cannot be effectively used as an exit criterion. Experience-based test techniques are often used in conjunction with white-box and black-box techniques.
