A specification states: "If the fossil is Jurassic in origin then it must be catalogued under Mesozoic post Triassic and cross referred to politic limestone.

If it is a tooth, then it must be catalogued under Dental remains. If the fossil is both Jurassic in origin and a tooth it will be catalogued under Mesozoic post Triassic and cross referred to politic limestone only. ''

The tester analyses this for decision table testing and finds the following conditions and actions:

C1: Jurassic C2: tooth A1: Catalogue as Mesozoic post Triassic A2: Cross refer to politic limestone A3: Catalogue as

Hmm, I think the answer is C) 4. The decision table has two conditions (Jurassic and tooth) and three actions, so the number of test cases should be 2 x 2 = 4.

Wait, so if the fossil is both Jurassic and a tooth, it gets catalogued twice? Seems like a lot of paperwork if you ask me.

Exactly, it will be a bit more work but necessary for accurate cataloguing.
