Chapter 8, Problem 8.9E
Program Plan Intro
Testing:
Testing is a study conducted to provide information about the quality of the system. Testing is an important phase of the development process.
Role of user in system testing:
- System testing is influenced by the experience of the users during the acceptance testing. User plays an important role.
- System must test in depth to ensure that the end product produces the high quality of system.
- The user reactions and feedback is essential for the system testing.
- Every system must have to pass through the acceptance testing.
- If the system meets the requirements of the business but is not accepted by the users, then it will be considered as the system failure.
- User feedback shapes the system and its acceptance.

Mr. Collins, head of the software development department, claims that beta site tests should always be carried out as early as possible in the development process, as there are no disadvantages to this method. Are beta site tests really a “disadvantage-free” method? If not, what are the main disadvantages and risks of beta site tests?

Since no other project member was suitable to moderate the inspection meeting, the requirements engineer decides to be the moderator of the moderator meeting. 3. The requirements engineer decides to conduct the validation only once due to budget constraint. 4.

- In K. Wieger’s paper, “Validating Requirements”, he wrote: “On many projects, testing is a late-stage activity. Requirements-related problems linger in the product until they’re finally revealed through time-consuming system testing or by the customer.” Based on what we discussed recently in the peer reviews module, how can we address this problem and reduce requirements-related problems?arrow_forwardYour team leader has asked you to write the test plan for the project. A test plan is used to document the testing and verification process of a project. It will contain test cases covering different levels of testing and serve as a record to show that all parts of the project passed the necessary testing. Discuss why it is important to perform different levels of testing. In your answer, make sure to give examples for each level, based on any feature/s of the case provided.arrow_forwardThis might result in either feature creep or scope creep, both of which are undesirable. Explain to everyone how the two concepts are distinct from one another so that they may comprehend your explanation. In what ways do you believe these two problems stem from the same source?
