SYSTEM TESTING AND IMPLEMENTATION

SYSTEM TESTING AND IMPLEMENTATION

 INTRODUCTION

            Testing is a process of executing a program with the intention of finding an error.A successful test is in that uncovers an undiscovered error.If testing is conducted successfully according to the objectives stated above, it will uncover errors in the software. Also, testing demonstrates that software functions appear to the working according to specification, that performance requirements appear to have been met.

 SYSTEM TESTING

                        System testing is a critical aspect of Software Quality Assurance and represents the ultimate review of specification, design and coding. Testing is a process of executing a program with the intent of finding an error. A good test is one that has a probability of finding an as yet undiscovered error. The purpose of testing is to identify and correct bugs in the developed system. Nothing is complete without testing. Testing is the vital to the success of the system.

 TYPE OF TESTING

      Unit Testing.

      Module Testing.

      Integration Testing.

      System Testing.

Unit Testing

            Unit testing focuses first on the modules in the proposed system to locate errors. This enables to detect errors in the coding and logic that are contained within that module alone. Those resulting from the interaction between modules are initially avoided. In unit testing step each module has to be checked separately.

Module Testing

            Module testing is a process of testing the system module by module,what are all the input given and what are all the output produced & whether they are required.By testing  in this method it would be very clear of the bugs occurred. In this system there are six modules namely Administration,Survey Authoring and Design,User management,Survey, and SMS Survey .By going through these modules bugs were identified.

Integration Testing

            The strategies for integrating software component  into a functioning product  include the bottom-up strategy, the top-down strategy and send which strategy careful planning and scheduling are required. To ensure that modules will be available for integration into the evolving software product when needed.The integration strategy dictates the order in which the modules  must be available and thus exterts a strong influence on the order in which the modules are written,debugged and unit tested.

System Testing

                         System testing does not test the software as a whole, but rather than integration of each module in the system. The primary concern is the compatibility of individual modules. One has to find areas where modules have been designed with different specifications of data lengths, type and data element name.

 SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION

         Implementation is the stage of the project where the theoretical design is turned into a working system. If the implementation stage is not carefully planned and controlled, it can cause chaos. The implementation involves careful planning, investigation of the current system, and its constraints on implementation etc.

            Coding is done in a modular fashion giving much importance even to the minute details so,when hardware and storage procedures are changed or new data is added,rewriting of application program is not necessary.

         Implementation involves all those activities that take place to convert from the old system to new system. The old system used much resources and it was time consuming. The proposed system is different from the existing system. A proper implementation is essential to provide reliable system to meet the requirement of the organizations. An improper installation may affect the success of the new system.

         The proposed system is implemented as an intranet application system in which the employees can access the application with the link provided to him.Authorization is required to enter into the system  for attending and analyzing available surveys.

 CONCLUSION AND SCOPE FOR FUTURE ENHANCEMENT

CONCLUSION

            The project “Intelligent Web Surveyor”  being developed is intended as a tool that will help the HR Management of the company in Conducting and Analyzing Employee Satisfaction Surveys. This  intranet application system reduced the workload of the HR department drastically.Errors that occurred during manual operation have been eliminated and hence Accuracy and Reliability in conduction and Analyzation of surveys  increased.

SCOPE FOR FUTURE ENHANCEMENT

            The system developed can be further enhanced. With new ideas, the system can explore  technologies that seem promising for survey data collection: speech dialogue systems, video mediated communication, animated agents. The data can be captured directly in electronic format, making analysis faster and cheaper. This again allows more data to be collected than with conventional mailed questionnaires.
