Software System Acceptance Testing
The software project acceptance test is to conduct a comprehensive test on the system to verify whether it meets the contract requirements, and issue a third-party test report to provide a basis for system acceptance.
Software product acceptance testing has been used in different techniques and methods, sometimes referring to the same concept, and sometimes may refer to different forms of testing. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a clear definition for the concepts related to acceptance testing discussed in this article:
①Acceptance testing: including customer acceptance testing, user acceptance testing and functional testing;
②Executable specification: that is, the acceptance test specification, which can run tests to verify whether the project implementation matches the defined specification;
③Customer: the end user of the system;
④ System: the developed software project;
⑤ Acceptance: meet functional and non-functional requirements;
⑥Functional requirements: the functions and actions that the system must perform, such as displaying items, user authentication, etc.;
⑦Non-functional requirements: related factors of the system, such as performance, scalability and security;
⑧Black box: A test process that does not depend on the internal details of the system, such as input data and test output results.
The software project acceptance test is the last test operation before deploying the software. It is to conduct a comprehensive test on the system to verify whether it meets the contract requirements, and issue a third-party test report to provide a basis for system acceptance.
1. What is the purpose of software project acceptance testing?
Ensure that the software is ready and can be used by the end user to perform the software's intended functions and tasks. Acceptance testing demonstrates to future users that the system works as intended. That is, to verify the validity of the software. The task of acceptance testing is to verify that the software functions and performs as users reasonably expect. In the later stage of the software project, the software project has undergone work such as trial operation, indicating that the software development and other work have been basically completed. At this time, preparations for the acceptance of the software project can be started. Software development project acceptance is the evaluation of the results of the entire development project, and it is the process of evaluating, identifying and summarizing the project before the software is delivered for use, including cost, quality, service and other aspects. Through the acceptance work, find out the possible problems and deficiencies in the project, and make final corrections, so that the project results can be perfectly delivered to the hands of the end users.
Second, the software project acceptance test content?
(1) Acceptance test
According to the contract between the software developer and the user, the software requirements specification, and relevant industry standards, national standards, laws and regulations, etc., the functions, performance, reliability, ease of use, maintainability, and portability of the software are strictly controlled. To find out the defects and deficiencies of the software, and propose revision suggestions to improve the project results.
(2) Regression testing
The software modified by the software developer is retested again to verify that the original problems have been modified, and at the same time confirm that the modifications have not introduced new defects.
(3) Project cost assessment
Provide project cost evaluation for users who need to audit and calculate project cost, and give reference opinions on software cost.
(4) Document review
Review the relevant documents provided by the software developer, and propose amendments to facilitate the use, maintenance and transplantation of software or systems.
(5) Inspection of contract execution
Check the implementation of the progress and services stipulated in the contract to protect the interests of both parties.
