Input Space Partitioning and JUnit

Examine the providedLimitedList.javaprovided below. Once you understand what the class does and how it works, define the following information using Input Space Partitioning methods (Interface-based and Functionality-based):

a) All input variables (including the state variables)

b) Characteristics of the input variables defined in (a).

c) The blocks you partitioned based on the characteristics defined in (b).

d) Each partitions Base block.

e) Values in each block (Hint: Refer to the characteristics you defined in (b)).

f) A Test Suite that satisfies Basic Choice Coverage.
