Software testing for BEETLINK E-Learning application

Abstract

Historically, software testing has been known to point out the defects and errors that were made during the development phases. This clearly points towards the fact that software testing is a very important aspect of software development. As off now, BeetMal Sdn Bhd has prepared an e-learning platform called BeetLink that is accessible to anyone i.e. a student, employee or a housewife. The platform is to enable continuous learning without location or time barrier. In order for the BeetLink e-learning application to be used by the public, it should be tested to avoid the modules in the application fails in terms of its function. It is also to ensure each module is able to interact with one another and with the system as a whole. It is therefore, in order to produce an e-learning product, the company needs to ensure that all the e-learning criteria are achieved and software testing activities are conducted constantly at once if the platform is to be utilized and accepted widely by public. Thus, the purpose of this project is to conduct the unit, integration and system testing for e-learning BeetLink using correctness, performance, reliability and security testing techniques. Finally, the software engineering documentations that are produced in this project are Software Test Plan (STP), Software Test Description (STD) and Software Test Result (STR) documentations. STP describes the software test environment to be used for the testing, identifies the tests to be performed, and provides schedules for test activities. Meanwhile, STD describes procedures to be used during software testing necessary to control the project. Finally, STR describes test cases, test procedures and test report that are used during software test execution. These three (3) documents are written according to the Defense of Department (DoD) standard.
