Testing Evaluating and MaintainingTesting Evaluating and Maintaining
1. Testing and evaluating the solution with test data such as
- volume data:
- test data designed to ensure the system performs within its requirements when processes are subjected to large volumes of data.
- This can be obtained from existing systems with suitable data or software tools that automatically generate large amounts of data with specific characteristics.
- Volume testing measures response times and ensures the system continues to operate when presented with large amounts of data.
- simulated data:
- aims to test the performance of systems under simulated operational conditions.
- As it is impractical to enroll hundreds of participants to log into a system and for them all to perform different tasks, software is used to simulate this.
- Such simulated testing aims to evaluate the system performance under a variety of different scenarios.
- live data:
- the actual data that is to be processes by the operational system.
- Live testing occurs once the system has been installed to ensure it is operating as expected.
- It ensures the system will operate under real conditions and confirms that all parts of the installed system are working as expected and meeting the system requirements.
