In this case we required black-box testing approach mainly via some functional test method like classification trees method to be able to differentiate all the different test-case classes and make a test strategy for all of them, but it was not feasible. Hence we did not predict all the test classess and all the possible scenarios, so in some cases the database design failed, in many cases the quality of the actual data in the database was the real reason for failure. So, the point of my message was that there are reasons and situations when you need your tools to support any kind of a process, and not the process to support your tools. The more flexible your tools are to exclusions and irregularites, the more applicable they will be.
