Abstract :
Application states are abstract states of application software characterized only by properties interesting to test designers in a particular situation. Application states can be used in software testing to break down test cases into manageable pieces, generate new test cases, and control the number of test cases in a test suite. They can also help test designers to conceptualize test design
