Your testing consists of three main elements:
• Testing using the performance indicators (within analysis) to prove that your solution does what your client wants it to do.
• Testing through development; this is testing the solution as you develop it.
• Testing during operation; this is using the test plan.
▫ During this section we can test the solution further.
▪ Unit testing – each individual element is tested and then the elements combined are                tested to check the data flows properly.
▪ System testing – the whole system is tested.
• User testing – this is where the end user tests the system as though it were in real life to see if everything works as it should.

Difference between Personal and Technical skills

Personal skills: Sometimes referred to as ‘personal transferable skills’, these are skills that are learnt in one situation, but can also be put into practice in another situation. Examples of these include communication, team work, leadership and problem solving.

 

Technical skills: Knowledge and skills specific to a particular occupation or group of occupations. For example, the technical skills for a software developer would be programming skills.

Definitions

INFO 1 - Topic 6: Output

Key Definitions in this chapter that you will need to know:

Continuous Stationary– long sheets of paper with perforations between the pages and down each side. There are sprocket holes down the side which enable the paper to be pulled through the printer.

Impact printer– the shape of the letters is formed b y hitting a inked ribbon against the page.

Printer driver– software that converts commands from the systems or applications software into form that a particular printer can understand.

 

A test plan uses test data that ensures:
• The validity of the data input.
• The accuracy of the data input.
• The presentation of the output.
• That the solution meets the needs of the client.
• That the solution is usable by the end user and / or intended audience.
• That it incorporates the data to be used for testing the solution and the expected results of each test.
