6-+Testing+and+Evalution+of+Software+Solutions

= Testing and Evaluation of Software Solutions =

Students should verify their solutions using test data both at program and system level. Live testing of programs should take place so that environment problems can be identified and removed. Students should also be checking that original requirements are being met. All user interfaces should also be evaluated at this stage. These steps are critical in ensuring that the developed product meets the user’s needs in terms of relevance, reliability and quality. • comparison of the solution with the original design specifications • generating relevant test data for complex solutions

– larger file sizes – mix of transaction types – response times – volume data – interfaces between modules – comparison with program test data

• benchmarking • quality assurance

• documentation of the test data and output produced – use of CASE tools
 * Reporting on the testing process**

• communication with those for whom the solution has been developed, including: – test results – comparison with the original design specifications || • differentiate between systems and program test data

• test their solution with the test data created at the design stage, comparing actual output with that expected

• demonstrate the features of a new system to users, facilitating open discussion and evaluation ||
