Testing

INTRODUCTION

Testing is the process of running a system with the intention

of finding errors. Testing enhances the integrity of a system by
detecting deviations in design and errors in the system. Testing aims at
detecting error-prone areas. This helps in the prevention of errors in a
system. Testing also adds value to the product by conforming to the
user requirements.

The main purpose of testing is to detect errors and error-

prone areas in a system. Testing must be thorough and well-planned. A
partially tested system is as bad as an untested system. And the price
of an untested and under-tested system is high.

The implementation is the final and important phase. It

involves user-training, system testing in order to ensure successful
running of the proposed system. The user tests the system and
changes are made according to their needs. The testing involves the
testing of the developed system using various kinds of data. While
testing, errors are noted and correctness is the mode.

OBJECTIVES OF TESTING:

The objectives of testing are:

 Testing is a process of executing a program with the intent of finding

errors.

 A Successful test case is one that uncovers an as- yet-undiscovered

error.

i
 The various types of testing on the system are:

1. Unit Testing.

2. Integration Testing

3. System testing

4. User Acceptance Testing

6.1. Unit Testing:

Unit testing focuses efforts on the smallest unit of software

design. This is known as module testing. The modules are tested
separately. The test is carried out during programming stage itself. In
this step, each module is found to be working satisfactory as regards to
the expected output from the module.

6.2. Integration Testing:

Data can be lost across an interface. One module can have an

adverse effect on another, sub functions, when combined, may not be
linked in desired manner in major functions. Integration testing is a
systematic approach for constructing the program structure, while at
the same time conducting test to uncover errors associated within the
interface. The objective is to take unit tested modules and builds
program structure. All the modules are combined and tested as a
whole.

ii
6.3. System Testing:

System testing is the stage of implementation. This is to check whether

the system works accurately and efficiently before live operation
commences. Testing is vital to the success of the system. The
candidate system is subject to a variety of tests: on line response,
volume, stress, recovery, security and usability tests. A series of tests
are performed for the proposed system is ready for user acceptance
testing.

6.4. User Acceptance Testing:

User acceptance of a system is the key factor for the success of

any system. The system under consideration is tested for the user
acceptance by constantly keeping in touch with the prospective system
users at the time of developing and making changes whenever
required.

 Validation:
At the culmination of the integration testing, Software is
completely assembled as a package. Interfacing errors have been
uncovered and corrected and a final series of software test begin in
validation testing. Validation testing can be defined in many ways, but
a simple definition is that the validation succeeds when the software
functions in a manner that is expected by the customer. After
validation test has been conducted, one of the three possible

conditions exists.

a) The function or performance characteristics confirm to specification

and are accepted.

b) A deviation from specification is uncovered and a deficiency lists is

created.

iii
 c) Proposed system under consideration has been tested by using
validation test and found to be working satisfactory.

 Output Testing:

After performing the validation testing, the next step is output

testing of the proposed system, since no system could be useful if it
does not produce the required output in a specific format. The output
format on the screen is found to be correct; the format was designed
in the system design time according to the user needs. For the hard
copy also; the output comes as per the specified requirements by the
user. Hence output testing did not result in any correction for the
system.

CONCLUSION
Social Networking website is a revolutionary idea with a very bright future with
further scope for advancements. The opportunities provided from this medium
are immense and many organisations are making use of this medium to better
their practices. Organisations are no longer at the mercy of the media to
advertise or convey their message. With the help of social networking they can
advertise or communicate in a more efficient way. For example, Starbucks have
started a very successful program in which a person from any part of the world
can login to a website to write comments and discuss issues. Similarly people
don’t have to rely on newspapers or TV to get their daily dose of news it can all
be obtained from a social networking site. People can follow or get information
from any part of the world. For example Twitter allows a user to follow anything
from airline timing to the next breaking news from China. It is even used by
politicians to get their message across.

Online communities and Blogs are becoming very popular and moreover since the
advancement of embedded systems people can use them “on the go” with the
help of handheld devices like cell phones or palmtops. They can get information
which is more interactive in nature with the help of embedd photo and video.
Iphone is an example of a handheld device through which people can share
information. People can also take part in the social network by using many tools
available to them. Users can tag particular pages of interest in an interactive
manner or can just bookmark them for further interaction. The kind of interaction
a user wants from these social networks depends on the type of information the
user is interested in. Wikis can be used for academic purpose, it can greatly
enhance the way people learn. People can watch videos to understand a topic
better or look at photos which might help them to visualize a concept, after all “a
picture speaks a thousand words”.

The world is getting closer everyday and everyone wants to be connected. Static
blogs and websites are losing popularity. World is moving more towards
"information streams". The information comes to users rather than users have to
make effort to get the information. The social networks can be extended to other
media, for example Television now integrates Twitter feeds. In terms of personal
relationships too the social networking is connecting people. Dating sites have
become very popular to find partners and to be connected with each other. Social
networking can also be very crucial in medical help. Illness
support communities can be created from which people can get information about
common diseases and also first aid tips.

After all the advantages, the problem that arises is of information overload and
security. Social networks, unlike the common media, do not have a pattern as to
how much information has to be conveyed and where to draw the line. Too much
of information may confuse users. Security might be another area of concern
where people can get illegal access to a user’s information. The future of social
networking looks very promising but still it has to deal with the problems
associated with it.
