Techniques for Testing

Techniques for Testing

1. Volume Testing

   • Tests Values
   • To see if system can cope with them becoming large over time

2. Test Harness

   • Automated Testing
   • Testing takes less time
   • Improves the quality of the software

3. Scalability Testing

   • Tests applications
   • To see if it can cope with an increase in workload

4. Prototyping

   • Produces working versions at different stages
   • Versions can be tested
   • Improvements on the system are based upon testing and user/client cooments

5. Use of Stimulate environments

   • Stimulates the system being used operationally
   • And lots of terminals to see effects

6. Multi-Platform Testing

   • Demonstrates that the software can be ported
     • Ported means that it can be used with different combinatiuons of hardware and software
