How to manage the testing phase of the PSIP(s)

1. How to manage the testing phase of the PSIP(s) Isidoros Passas URENIO

2. Testing phase In case of STRATINC:A process as well • Definition : Testing is the process of executing a program with the intent of finding errors Glen Myers • Objective explained: Testing is obviously concerned with errors, faults, failures and incidents. A test is the act of exercising software with test cases with an objective of • Finding failure • Demonstrate correct execution Paul Jorgensen

3. Classification of Test • One classification is based on the following methodologies: • Black box (Functional) Testing: inspects specified behavior • White box (Structural) Testing: inspects programmed behavior

4. Structural (White box) Test methodologies Functional (Black box)

5. Presentation methods of the testing phase • The cause-effect graph: • Examine the requirements and restate them as logical relation between inputs and outputs. • The result is a Boolean graph representing the relationships called a cause-effect graph. • The decision table: • each column of the decision table corresponds to a test case for functional testing.

6. Steps to create cause-effect graph • Study the functional requirements. • Mark and number all causes and effects. • Numbered causes and effects become nodes of the graph. • Draw causes on the LHS • Draw effects on the RHS • Draw logical relationship between causes and effects as edges in the graph. • Extra nodes can be added to simplify the graph

7. Cause Effect Graph

8. Decision Table • Two dimensional mapping of condition against actions to be performed • Conditions evaluate to Boolean • Action corresponds to expected activity • They can be derived from Cause Effect graph too • Map cause as condition • Map effect as action

9. Cause effect graph- Decision table Causes: I=Invoked X=don’t care S=suppressed Effects: P=present A=absent

10. IEEE Standard 829 - 1998 • Test plan identifier • Introduction • Test Items • Features to be tested • Features not to be tested • Approach • Item pass/fail criteria • Suspension criteria and resumption requirements

11. The testing phase of the PSIP in Region of Central Macedoniaand the ICT cluster

12. Testing phase and STRATINC • Two main scopes (a) Test the flow system of Information for the Strategic Intelligence platform (b) Test the functionality of the software Pilot platform • Proposed Methodology White Box for scope (a) Black Box for scope (b)

13. Proposed testing process of the PSIP in RCM • The Information collection process into the PSIP will be tested based on the white box methodology by a Strategic Intelligent expert from URENIO. • The functions of the installed PSIP will be tested by the 20 companies that answered the questionnaires.

15. Points that will be assessed during the Usability tests • All aspects of user interfaces are tested: • Display screens • messages • report formats • navigation and selection problems

16. Test Summary Report • Will be generated towards the end of the testing phase. • It will cover each subsystem: • Information collection process • And a summary of the tests which have been applied to the PSIP.

17. Testing phase deliverables • Test deliverables • Testing tasks • Responsibilities • Staffing and training needs • Risk and contingencies • Approvals
