3.4-1 Testing

Question 1

Testing Ensures (2) things

Answer 1

1. The system meets its stated goals

2. The system works the way it’s supposed to

Question 2

(5) General Testing Steps

Answer 2

1. Define the conditions of the test
2. Walk through conditions in the simulation
3. Create test data in the simulation
4. Perform test results
5. Evaluate the results

Question 3

(2) Basic Phases of Testing

Answer 3

1. Software/program testing - this includes unit, integration and system testing
2. Acceptance testing

Question 4

Unit Testing

Answer 4

Individual modules are tested
- Functional test, done in a simulation

GOAL: verify the functionality of the code

Question 5

Integration Testing

Answer 5

Modules are gradually grouped together, with testing occurring as each module is added

GOAL: expose defects in the interfaces, integration of the modules, and modules satisfy the system requirements

Question 6

System Testing

Answer 6

GOAL: how all the components work under various conditions (normal/peak loads)

• Quality
• Reliability
• Scalability

Question 7

Acceptance Testing

Answer 7

Actual users test it
1. Alpha Testing: using simulated data

2. Beta Testing: uses actual data

A.) Recovery Testing: how does it recover when it’s failed?

B.) Security Testing: have policies been implemented as intended? Created any unforeseen problems?

C.) Stress Testing: can it fail by not following rules/procedures?
