If you are getting empty file as the output of a job during testing, how would you ensure that it is defect or data set up problem assuming that this is a black box testing with no access to the program code. |

you can't.
If empty output file condition is 'not allowed' or 'exceptional',
send the program back to development
with the requirement that exceptional conditions generate 'exceptional condition/return codes'. |

Hello,
When doing "black box" testing, usually there are multiple sets of input with the expected result of each set of input provided to the testers. . .
You should not have to make a decision about success or failure of the test.
It is surely not sufficient to equate a non-abend to a successful run. . . |
