Question
Sub:Bus control plan
According to the required textbook for this course, on page 145, "Some strategies that can be used to test contingency plans are":
Desk Check Testing
Structured walk-through Testing
Simulation Testing
Simulation Testing
Parallel testing Testing
Full interruption Testing
War gaming Testing
Discuss three (2) advantages and two(2) disadvantages of each type of testing listed above. When is each type of testing appropriate? Are there situations that preclude the use of a particular type of testing? Read the required textbook by Whiteman, Mattord & Green, Chapter 4 for answers. You must include an APA formatted in-text citation & reference list from your textbook. Only other references should be scholarly references.
DQ requirement: Note that the requirement is to post your initial response no later than Thursday and you must post one additional post during the week. I recommend your initial posting to be between 200-to-300 words. The replies to fellow students and to the professor should range between 100-to-150 words. All initial posts must contain a properly formatted in-text citation and scholarly reference to support an assumption.
This is my discussion for this week
Explanation / Answer
1. Desk Check Testing - Desk checking is an informal manual test that programmers can use to verify coding and algorithm logic before a program launch.
When it is appropriate:- before a program launch / before a program Go-Live
Advantages of Desk Checking -
Disadvantages of Desk Checking -
2. Structured walk-through Testing - A structured walkthrough, a static testing technique performed in an organized manner between a group of peers to review and discuss the technical aspects of software development process. The main objective in a structured walkthrough is to find defects inorder to improve the quality of the product
When it is appropriate - After a particular functionality is built by the developer, a group of peers can review and discuss the technical aspects of software development process.
Advantages:-
Saves time and money as defects are found and rectified very early in the lifecycle.
This provides value-added comments from reviewers with different technical backgrounds and experience.
It notifies the project management team about the progress of the development process.
Disadvantages:-
3. Simulation Testing - The basic premise of simulation test is to observe the candidate perform the actual job in a controlled environment. There are two types of simulation tests known as work sample test and assessment centers.
When it is appt - At the time of job interview for a candidate or when candidates work in real time project facing really tough challenging tasks that they need to accomplish
Advantages:-
Disadvantage:-
4. Parallel Testing - Parallel testing means testing multiple applications or subcomponents of one application concurrently to reduce thetest time. Parallel tests consist of two or more parts (projects or project suites) that check different parts or functional characteristics of an application.
When it is appt -
Advantages:-
Disadvantages:-
