Testing

A test plan will be included in the design phase to explain exactly how the new system will be tested and the expected outcomes for each test.

Testing is important because computer software is usually very complex. Any mistakes made by the designers or programmer can have a dramatic effect depending on what the software is used for.

Usually software is tested with three distinct types of data:

Range of data = 1 – 10

• Typical data – this is normal data the system should be working with.

5

• Extreme data – this is data at the boundary between typical data and invalid data.

1 or 10

• Invalid data (sometimes known as erroneous data) – this is data that should cause the system to tell the user that there is a problem with data entered into the system.
