...It is not easy to be perceived as the bad guy. In a room full of management, I once looked my employer's CEO straight in the eye, and told him that the software he was ready to deliver did not work. It did not work, and was one of the ugliest pieces of user interface I had ever seen. In fact, I told him, I had seen school projects that were better quality that the junk the company was about to deliver to a major client. I will never forget that definitive moment of corporate terror, the reflection of panic from the sweat beads streaming down his crinkled face; the death of silence in the room. What went so wrong that this product was almost allowed to ship? Why was a mid-level software engineer telling the corporate head his watch had just created a pile of software crap destined for the company's best customer? The CEO should have been sweating; he was faced with the very real prospect of contractual breach, and litigation. The testing team had been copious in their documentation of the software verification results, and sent them to the quality manager on a weekly basis. The reports showed consistent failure of major components, and data corruption. Why didn't top management see the damming information that was so pervasive? This company had a system in place that allowed defective products to ship. But the problem was not technical, it was political. The issue was a quality manager who had more concern for the creation of a façade, than with reporting of reality. Perry...

...IBM, Bangalore A White Paper Challenges of Managing a Testing Project: (A White Paper) A White Paper Page 1 of 20 Vinod Kumar Suvarna IBM, Bangalore A White Paper Introduction Testing is expected to consume 30 – 50 % of the Project Effort, Still properly managing testing project is not considered seriously. Project Managers always undermine the impact the testing activity has on the Project Cost and Schedule. Hence the testing activity is usually unplanned and uncontrollable. As the project manager assumes that the main focus of the testing activity in the project is not to meet the project schedule. But Its is a reality that a thorough and close monitoring of the Testing project is required to increase productivity, reduce cycle -time and improve quality. Below pie chart depicts the Project effort distribution by phase for a development project, where independent testing team performs the testing activity.

...energy of electrically charged atomic particles. Linacs are use mainly in hospitals to treat cancer patients .During treatment a patient is exposed to beam of radiation in doses designed to kill a malignancy.(Grolier, 1985) The Software Engineering Code of Ethics and Professional Practice is a practical frame- work for moral decision-making related to problems that software engineers may encounter. (Quinn, 2013) Between June 1995 and January 1987, six patients were seriously injured and some killed by poor administration of radiation from the Therac-25 medical linear accelerator. This paper therefore seeks to explore the causes behind the accidents, the software bugs that were associated with the machine. In addition the paper will also cover some of list the clauses that are violated in the code of ethics of software engineering and explain how they relate to the action or inaction that led to the overexposure incident Technical errors in Therac-25 software One of the major weaknesses that is associated with Therac-25 software was in the lack of formal testing procedures. As results certain errors remained in the software as the product got distributed to the consumers. One of the errors that were common with the software was radiation overexposure which can be attributed to interface errors on part of the machine. Another error involved the entering of treatment data by the machine operator. In addition once the machine’s magnet are set, there is no...

...Test Items The items that will need to be tested in our testing plan is that a visitor must be able to view all items for sale at the gallery. The visitor must be able to search for a specific artist and have all of that artists paintings displayed. We must test that a user will be able to search by genre for example landscape, still life, portrait, abstract; we must test a display message if none of these paintings are found. We must test to make sure all paintings are in alphabetical order, that a user can also sort these paintings by their choosing. That all paintings are displayed with a thumbnail image, artist, title, date acquired by the gallery, price and a reserve it now button. That each image can be displayed at 500x500 pixels. We must test that once a painting is reserved the reserved now button is disabled to not allow two reservations, we must also test to make sure that a customer can only reserve one painting per driver’s license number. Approach The testing approach for this module will encompass the following: A. Unit Test; we must test and check each system component by itself. B. Integration Test; we must check the components in combination with each other. C. System Test; we must check the operation of the complete system in a controlled environment. D. Acceptance Test; we must try the new system live with actually users. Test Environment The environment for system testing will be as follows: • A development environment. This will...

The project will have three levels of testing, Unit, System/Integration and Acceptance. The details for each level are addressed in the approach section and will be further defined in the level specific plans. The estimated time line for this project is very aggressive (six (6) months), as such, any delays in the development process or in the installation and verification of the third party software could have significant effects on the test plan. The acceptance testing is expected to take one (1) month from the date of application delivery from system test and is to be done in parallel with the current application process. TEST ITEMS The following is a list, by version and release, of the items to be tested: A. EXTOL EDI package, Version 3.0 If a new release is available prior to roll-out it will not be used until after installation. It will be a separate upgrade/update project. B. DNS PC EDI transaction package, Version 2.2 If a new release is available prior to roll-out it will not be used until after installation. It will be a separate upgrade/update project. C.

...Impact of Inspection and Testing on Quality of Software; a Comparison Naila Bashir Awan, Tooba Ahmad and Mehreen Ahmed KEYWORDS: Quality Assurance, Software testing, Inspection, testing. comparison. The methodology being used is empirical research. This research paper will answer the following questions. • • Are both testing and inspection necessary for software quality assurance? Which Technique (testing or inspection) is better for checking the quality of code? Abstract---Developing software systems involves a series of activities where there are many possibilities to make errors. Thus, software development should always be accompanied by quality assurance (QA) activities. Inspection and testing are two common QA activities, which are often used in different phases of the software development life cycle (SDLC). This research addresses the basic question that which technique is better and are both necessary. But we come to know that both testing and inspection are important defect removal activities and equally effective. 1. INTRODUCTION Quality means the degree to which a system, component, or process meets customer or user needs or expectations. [1] Quality Assurance is set of activities designed to evaluate the process by which products are developed or manufactured. [3]All major software developers stress software quality assurance and try to remove bugs before release. It’s easy to review code but fail to notice significant errors. Thus, software development should always...
