Testing




Testing



It is integral part of any system’s development life cycle without which the system developed is sure to fail and result in loss of economic and manpower investments besides user’s dissatisfaction and downfall of reputation.

System testing is the stage of implementation, which aims at ensuring that the system works accurately and efficiently before actual operation commences. No program or system design is perfect, communication between the user and the designer is not always complete or clear. All this can result in errors.

Another reason for system testing is its utility as a user oriented vehicle before implementation. The application system is worthless if does not meet user needs, thus the system should be tested to see whether it meets the user requirements.

Testing here is conducted in bottom up approach as follows:
Ø     Module testing: Here testing is done at each module level. Each case has been throughly tested to discover pitfalls.
Ø     System testing: Here testing is done after all the modules have been integrated.
