[NF] Testing procedures

Author: Crooks, David L.

Posted: 2003-10-16 12:10:00   Link

Has anyone created any procedure for testing? I am trying to create some

form of a checklist to make sure the new features work and also the rest of

the application works as it should. Any ideas?

1. Don't test it yourself, because others can break your

software in ways you never dreamed of:)

2. There are some books written on this very subject if you

check Amazon.

3. Create a test area for the software, a copy of the current

data, and let them bang away at it, that way any problems won't

interfere with live data.

4. On changes to reports, print out the before and after copies

to show your client.

5. On changes to screens, print out the before and after screen

captures of each screen.

6. On any changes to behaviour, write a written procedure to

prove that the function works. Like:

1. Enter data in field 1

2. Press button b.

3. Observe result.

Since we haven't found Saddam Hussein yet, does that mean he never existed either?

A little pricey! In order to have the testing functions it is almost $900.

I am thinking of more like number 6. This is for internal testing purposes

to make sure the changes have been thoroughly tested. Thanks!

"Used to" is correct as the link does not work.

It seems to be working well.

FYI, It's an opt-in system. When someone emails you they have to opt-in on

a web page. You then have the option to accept them in your whitelist or

not. I imported my address book and setup all of the email list names and

get those just fine. So far, so good...
