    - The document discusses strategies for testing the minimum and maximum throughput of credit card connections to ATMs since this information is missing from the design specification. It recommends using performance testing tools to measure arrival time, burst time, response time, and exit time to determine throughput. - It also recommends a test environment including test servers, networks, test PCs with different browsers/OS, bug reporting tools, test data management, and test environment maintenance to properly test the ATM system. References on software testing, human-system integration, and test execution are also provided.

    BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

    SOFTWARE TESTING TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES

    BSD 3107

    QUESTION

    Assume you are a technical test analyst working on a banking project to upgrade an

    existing automated teller machine system to allow customers to obtain cash advances

    from supported credit cards. You are unable to obtain information about the minimum

    & maximum throughput of the connections between the automated teller machine and

    the payment processing networks, which is not included in the design specification.

    PART ONE
    Develop a strategy describing how you would solve this problem

    - Identify a test tool to be used to get the problem at hand, e.g., performance test

    tools or static analysis tools.

    - Identify the suspected cause and actual cause of the problem. E.g., if it is a

    defect in design specification or in the system or network.

    - After identifying the problem, Move it to an open state for prioritization by

    project stakeholders.

    - Test the minimum and maximum throughput of the supported credit cards

    independently; to get this information we use:

     The arrival time- when a process enters into the ready state and
    is ready for its execution.
     Burst time- total time taken by the process for its execution on
    the CPU.
     Response time- time spent when the process is in the ready state
    and gets the CPU for the first time.
     Exit time- is the time when a process completes its execution and
    exit from the system.
    - Using the above strategy, we can find the maximum and minimum throughput
    in the network.

    PART TWO

    Analyse and write a report on the automated test-ware, (explaining test


    environment components and tools) you would recommend for this project

    - A test environment is a combination of hardware, software, data, and


    configuration that’s required to execute test cases.
    - Test-ware is a sub-set of software with a special purpose, that is, for software
    testing, especially for software testing automation.
    - Compared to general software, test-ware is special because it has:
    o a different purpose
    o different metrics for quality and
    o different users
    -
    - Following people are involved in test environment setup
     System Admins,
     Developers
     Testers
    - The test environment requires setting up of various number of distinct areas
    like,
    Setup of Test Server
    - Every test may not be executed on a local machine. It may need establishing a
    test server, which can support applications.

    Network

    - Network set up as per the test requirement. It includes,


    o Internet setup
    o LAN Wi-fi setup
    o Private network setup
    o It ensures that the congestion that occurs during testing doesn't
    affect other members. (Developers, designers, content writers,
    etc.)

    Test PC setup

    - For web testing, you may need to set up different browsers for different
    testers. For desktop applications, you need various types of OS for
    different testers PCs.

    Bug Reporting
    - Bug reporting tools should be provided to testers.

    Creating Test Data for the Test Environment

    - Many companies use a separate test environment to test the software


    product. The common approach used is to copy production data to test.
    This helps the tester, to detect the same issues as a live production
    server, without corrupting the production data.

    Test Environment Management

    - Test Environment Management deals with the maintenance and upkeep


    of the test bed.
