What is Equivalence Class Partitioning (ECP or EP)?

Equivalence Class Partitioning is tests based on evaluating input or output conditions and separating them into two or more sets
    - Reduce # of tests to achieve "reasonable" coverage
    - Covers a large set of possible data
    - 2 basic sets: Valid class and Invalid class sets

Equivalence classes are formed by a partition of a set made up of subsets whose union is the entire set. For example, in the triangle program a test for an equilateral triangle may include the inputs (6,6,6). Another test with numbers from the same subset (such as 8,8,8) would likely not produce a different result from the previous test. From a code implementation view, the data is handled the same way
so the second test case using data from the same equivalence class can be considered a redundant test case.
