During design,we develop a unit test plan,an integration test plan,and a system test plan and during support,these various plans are put into effect and the actual testing is performed.

Testing managers are responsible for developing test plans,establishing testing standards,integrating testing and development activities in the life cycle,and ensuring that test plans are completed.

Inspections are formal group activities where participants manually examine code for occurrences of well-known errors.

Desk checking is the process of bringing together all of the modules that a program comprises for testing purposes.

Under both integration and stub testing,not only do individual modules and programs get tested many times,so do the interfaces between modules and programs.

System testing is more than simply expanded integration testing where you are testing the interfaces between programs in a system rather than testing the interfaces between modules in a program.

Non-live means that the data and situation are artificial,developed specifically for testing purposes,although both the data and the environment are similar to what users would encounter in everyday system use.

The people who create the test cases can be the same people as those who coded and tested the system.

In many situations,a testing harness will greatly enhance the testing process because it can automatically expand the scope of the tests beyond the current development platform as well as be run every time there is a new version of the software.

Different forms of refactoring include simplifying complex statements,abstracting solutions from reusable code,and removing duplicate code.

The purpose of regression testing is for users to determine whether the system meets their requirements.

Define the way tests are organized according to Mosley.Provide the definition of each category.

What types of tests are performed during alpha testing?

Explain the four types of installation.

In alpha testing,the entire system is implemented in a test environment to discover whether the system is overtly destructive to itself or to the rest of the environment.

The intent of the alpha test is to determine whether the software,documentation,technical support,and training activities work as intended.In essence,alpha testing can be viewed as a rehearsal of the installation phase.

In direct installation any errors resulting from the new system will have a direct impact on the users and how they do their jobs and,in some cases-depending on the centrality of the system to the organization-on how the organization performs its business.

________ has detailed information about a system's design specifications,its internal workings,and its functionality. A)An installation document B)A design document C)User documentation D)System documentation

________ has written or other visual information about an application system,how it works,and how to use it. A)An installation document B)A design document C)User documentation D)System documentation

Which implementation factor describes characteristics of the user,such as age and degree of computer experience in an information system? A)Satisfaction B)User demographics C)Performance D)Users personal stake

System documentation is written or other visual information about an application system,how it works,and how to use it.

Support means providing ongoing educational and problem-solving assistance to information system users.For in-house developed systems,support materials and jobs will have to be prepared or designed as part of the implementation process.

A help desk is a single point of contact for all user inquiries and problems about a particular information system or for all users in a particular department.

It is not crucial that help desk personnel know when new systems and releases are being implemented and when users are being trained for new systems.

Define system documentation and user documentation.

List at least three types of user training and an example for each.

List the types of training methods.
