| Test plans may include tests carried out for a number of reasons using normal, extreme and erroneous data. With reference to your test plan, test data and testing evidence, describe and justify tests you have carried out for two different reasons.… | The reason I carried out one test was to ensure accuracy of output (1) this was test number 12 which tested the calculation of a total. (1) The data was 10, 5 and 15 (1) the expected result was 30, (1) the actual result was 30 (1) to check the calculation was correct I entered the numbers into a calculator (1) this gave 30 which proved the calculation was correct. (1) Another test I did was to test the validity of data input (1). The customer number range check of 100 – 1000 (1). The justification for doing this test was to check that data outside of the range was not accepted. (1) marks for the following Reason for performing the test Description of the tests performed Justification of why test was performed The test data used Justification of the test data Reporting on the result of testing |
| The suitability of the output produced is one way of judging the effectiveness of a solution. With reference to your Sample Work, explain how you ensured the outputs produced were suitable and therefore effective.… | For the advertising campaign one output was a large poster (1) which I showed to John to ensure it was suitable for his needs. (1) I asked John to keep a record for two weeks to find out if the poster had been well-received by their customers (1) the results showed that it has been. (1) Another output was a flyer which was delivered door to door locally. (1) New customers were asked to bring it to the shop with them to give an idea of whether or not it had the desired effect. (1) Ten new customers came in during the two weeks that we tested the effectiveness.(1) Answer must have at least two outputs for full marks. Max 3 marks for identifying outputs Max 4 for explanation of how student ensured one output produced was suitable and therefore effective. |
| Explain, using an example, what is meant by verification. | Verification is a check to make sure data has not been corrupted (1) as it is copied between different parts of a computer system. (1) It is often used to check that passwords have been entered accurately and consistently when signing up for web sites or email accounts.

| A group of friends are using a local travel company, ‘Sporty Tours’, to organise a tour to Australia in 2013. ‘Sporty Tours’ has recently produced a website for online booking. They are trying to encourage people to sign up to the website and enter their personal data, as they are in the process of moving away from the paper-based data entry form, as shown in Figure 1 on the insert. 6 (b) (i) You have been asked to design an online booking form. Explain the validation and verification you could include in your design which would support robust data entry by minimising errors and ensuring valid and accurate data entry. | e.g. I have included drop down menus for the title field (1) to try and cut down on data entry errors as by giving a user some options they will not be required to enter all of the data by themselves as they just choose an option (1) The email will require to be entered twice (1) as a verification check comparing the two will reject the email address if it does not match. (1) I have included a format check on the date of birth field (1) as this ensures that the correct format of dd/mm/yyyy (1) is entered, for example 24/06/2012. (1) A presence check has been included on home phone. (1) Up to 6 marks for the identification of a field and the check on that field (both are required) Up to 6 marks for explaining how this would support robust data entry, minimise errors and ensure accurate and valid data entry |
