Which of the following is NOT an experience-based technique?

Boundary value analysis is a specification-based (or black-box) test technique. It systematically derives test cases from the requirements by focusing on the boundaries of input and output domains. It does not rely on the tester's personal experience or intuition. In contrast, experience-based techniques like error guessing, exploratory testing, and fault attacks are dependent on the tester's skills, knowledge of the system, and intuition about where defects are likely to occur.

B: Error guessing is a core experience-based technique where testers use their knowledge of common mistakes to find defects. C: Exploratory testing is an experience-based approach where test design and execution are guided by the tester's ongoing learning and experience. D: Fault attack is an experience-based technique that uses knowledge of typical faults to design tests that expose related failures.
